Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri was born in London and brought up in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Brought up in America by a mother who wanted to raise her children to be Indian, she learned about her Bengali heritage from an early age.

Lahiri graduated from South Kingstown High School and later received her B.A. in English literature from Barnard College in 1989. She then received multiple degrees from Boston University: an M.A. in English, an M.A. in Creative Writing, an M.A. in Comparative Literature and a Ph.D. in Renaissance Studies. She took up a fellowship at Provincetown's Fine Arts Work Center, which lasted for the next two years (1997-1998).

In 2001, she married Alberto Vourvoulias-Bush, a journalist who was then Deputy Editor of TIME Latin America Lahiri currently lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two children. She has been a Vice President of the PEN American Center since 2005.

Lahiri taught creative writing at Boston University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Much of her short fiction concerns the lives of Indian-Americans, particularly Bengalis.

She received the following awards, among others:

1999 - PEN/Hemingway Award (Best Fiction Debut of the Year) for Interpreter of Maladies;

2000 - The New Yorker's Best Debut of the Year for Interpreter of Maladies;

2000 - Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her debut Interpreter of Maladies

Eight stories—longer and more emotionally complex than any Lahiri has yet written—that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand as they enter the lives of sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, daughters and sons, friends and lovers.

From the internationally best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories—longer and more emotionally complex than any she has yet written—that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand as they enter the lives of sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, daughters and sons, friends and lovers.

In the stunning title story, Ruma, a young mother in a new city, is visited by her father, who carefully tends the earth of her garden, where he and his grandson form a special bond. But he’s harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he’s keeping all to himself. In “A Choice of Accommodations,” a husband’s attempt to turn an old friend’s wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In “Only Goodness,” a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in “Hema and Kaushik,” a trio of linked stories—a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate—we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome.

Unaccustomed Earth is rich with Jhumpa Lahiri’s signature gifts: exquisite prose, emotional wisdom, and subtle renderings of the most intricate workings of the heart and mind. It is a masterful, dazzling work of a writer at the peak of her powers.

这位作者的书国内出版了三本,本本经典,不是文学上的珠穆朗玛峰那种高度,属于平原风光的旖旎,有些发现非常微妙,切入非常巧妙,值得收藏阅读。之前的《疾病解说者》与《同名人》都是顶呱呱的,《同名人》属于长篇,一点也不亚于她的短篇,叙述沉稳流畅,没有太多火化,却能...

充满的东方文化和细腻情感的书。 很久之前读的了,看泡芙小姐时,里面说的。好奇就买来看了,当时家庭关系还不较复杂,读里面好几个关于婚姻关系的故事,心里有些小小的震撼,原来心灵还可以是这样的。似乎某部分确实了,或许从来就没找到过。

美籍孟加拉裔印度移民茱帕•拉希里的短篇小说集《不适之地》,好到让人吃惊。 春节过后,飞去外地与亲友小聚,行前抓本薄点的书飞机上读。去途第一篇,也就是用作书名的《不适之地》读了一半,虽被其纤细、安静的书写所吸引,但由于近在眉睫的相聚,并不太能静下心来。久别...

“倘若世世代代都在同一处不再肥沃的土地上反复扎根,人性就会像将马铃薯种在这片土地上无法繁茂茁壮。我的孩子们已经诞生在他处,即便我能力所及、掌控得了他们的命运,他们也将在不适之地扎根。”这段话出自美国作家霍桑的名作《红字》,被曾获奥康纳国际短篇小说奖第一名的...

Lahiri的第三本書,漸入佳境。印裔的生活,看似學業與工作一路平坦,背後卻是對父母與族群的妥協,隻剩下狼藉的愛情來做對自己的交代(當然也有局外者)。吐槽:這本是英版,字太小瞭!還有錯彆字……最後一個小中篇的結局也不喜歡,地震海嘯像是作者偷懶的藉口。
