An incredible debut collection; each story is so tightly constructed and carefully written. The language is in some ways spare but has beautiful rhythms (prosody? is that the word I mean here? perhaps). Luminous. ( ) My reading of Interpreter of Maladies was interrupted by the need to read several other books that demanded immediate attention. But I found that I kept longing to get back to the delights of Jhumpa Lahiri. I'm a fan because she writes with such deft precision. The blouse was decorated at chest-level with a calico applique in the shape of a strawberry. She was a short woman, with small hands like paws, her frosty pink finger-nails painted to match her lips, and was slightly plump in her figure. p. 46I marvel at how she can draw character so effortlessly. This collection of stories are all entire unto themselves but, as in [b:Whereabouts|56221722|Whereabouts|Jhumpa Lahiri|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607444569l/56221722._SY75_.jpg|64910967] in fact, all Lahiri's books that I've read, fragments seem to fit together into a larger whole where the frailty of humanity is not exploited but celebrated. I wept at the end of the last story which seemed to draw a thread that brought all the stories together. So quietly delicate in its intensity. The author writes these stories so that I feel wonderfully present in each of them, in each of her characters. It's a quiet collection of every day people living ordinary lives, but the best of them pulled at my heart and emotions, with love and resentment and longing and disappointment. I will be looking for more of her work to read. Paperback, picked up at a Friends of the Library sale, still with its library stickers and bar codes, pages comfortably bent and wrinkled and stained. I love the signs that many before me have had the opportunity to enjoy it. Any book that can make me laugh out loud and then leave me sobbing just thirteen pages later is worth more than its weight in stars. What I loved so much about this collection of stories is that Lahiri has offered a perspective of the Indian immigrant experience that is as vast and diverse as the book’s stories and characters. And I believe that’s the point – to not only show how America is perceived, interpreted and navigated by immigrants, but to also show how our perspectives are informed and shaped by our own assumptions. While I read this for an Asian-American Literature class at the University of Colorado Boulder, I will be returning to it many times in years to come. As such – I highly recommend you give this story collection a go so we can compare what we’ve learned from it!
In this accomplished collection of stories, Jhumpa Lahiri traces the lives of people on two continents -- North America and India -- and in doing so announces herself as a wonderfully distinctive new voice. Indeed, Ms. Lahiri's prose is so eloquent and assured that the reader easily forgets that ''Interpreter of Maladies'' is a young writer's first book.

\\\"Tämä siunattu koti sisältää yhdeksän kertomusta. Kaikki liittyvät tavalla tai toisella Intiaan. Niissä on portaiden lakaisijoita Kalkutasta ja siirtolaisia Yhdysvalloista, sarien kultakoristeista silkkiä ja paprikan ja luumujen väkevää tuoksua. Lahiri kuvaa herkästi ja lämpimästi kaikille yhteisiä kokemuksia aikuiseksi kasvusta, kotoa lähdöstä, rakastumisesta ja rakkauden lopusta sekä siitä, miltä tuntuu olla muukalainen jopa omassa perheessään.\\\" -- (takakansi) Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
