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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

认识Jhumpa Lahiri是从她的《疾病解说者》开始的,文字清澈而柔和,感情细腻。后来读了一篇关于她的采访,才知道她与俄国文字的渊源,以及那种白描风格的源头。但是不得不说的是,这种纠结感情的讲述手法,从俄国男人的白桦林转到美国女人的感情世界,多少带上了一种怨妇腔。幸...

陌生的土地》是鍾芭.拉希莉十年來的第三本書,這樣的創作速度讓人覺得有些意外。二○○○年三十二歲的她以處女作《醫生的翻譯員》獲普立茲小說獎,成為史上第七個以短篇小說集獲得此項殊榮的作家,按理她有本錢像許多作家一樣,以一年一本或兩年一本的速度寫書,但她卻隔了四...

茱帕·拉希里(Jhumpa Lahiri )是美国当代文坛具有影响力的孟加拉裔女作家,她的最新小说集《不适之地》(unaccustomed Earth)(上海译文出版社,2011)延续了其短篇小说集《疾病解说者》(Interpreter of Maladies)(上海文艺出版社,2005)和长篇小说《同名人》(The namesake...  

評分

上海,这个初夏陡然高温到三十五度的时候,泡上一杯好友寄自佛国莲台九华山的“九华佛茶”,慢慢展开了茱帕·拉希里的《不适之地》,慢慢品茶,慢慢读书,不知觉间,清凉萦怀。    茱帕·拉希里的整本小说集《不适之地》共分两部,第一部是五个小短篇,分别是《不适之地...  

評分

《不适之地》并非茱帕-拉希里的第一部短篇小说作品集。在她的处女作,亦是获得普利策文学奖的《疾病解说者》里,她就塑造了众多印度移民的典型形象。拉希里着重描写两代印度移民之间因为成长经历和文化环境的不同所导致的矛盾和互不理解。她借某个第二代移民之口道出其中的一...

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。
