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.

I have just started reading this book but I have got used to the rhythm of the so-called family life. I have felt a gap between two generations, father and daughter, mother and son. However, there is an intangible intimacy between the grandfather and the grandson. This anomaly just reflects in our culture. It seems that there is a invisible band between incontinuous gernerations. (更多)I have just started reading this book but I have got used to the rhythm of the so-called family life.

- julier 《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个方面:……毋庸置疑,我一生将平平安安,悠哉游哉,良好的教育......2011-12-19 2/2有用来自 上海译文出版社2011版

- 方东流(我非我时,我是谁?) 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,却能控制读者的阅读情绪。......2011-04-12 2/2有用来自 上海译文出版社2011版

- Tarsan(what the bullshit i am reading) 移民文学究竟会走到什么境界?除了疏离、恐惧、遗憾,是不是有些东西被蒙在移民文学这个标签下缺少了更深层次的思索,只是因为不适所以更多的问题凸显了,比如爱情,比如失去,比如童年。从这个角度说,拉西里写什么样的故事是不重要的,即使是曲折反复的爱情故事,也看过太多在普通场合的上演,得绝症的母亲和突然死亡的幼年情人也并不稀奇。所......2011-06-26 1/1有用来自 上海译文出版社2011版
