Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and the baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations. In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New Yorker, a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of a stillborn birth while their Boston neighborhood copes with a nightly blackout. In the title story, an interpreter guides an American family through the India of their ancestors and hears an astonishing confession. Lahiri writes with deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant. She is an important and powerful new voice.

多个小故事组成的一本书，有好有次，最喜欢“When Mr. Pirzada comes to dine”, 以一个小女孩的视角所描写的那些心理活动非常贴切精细，饱含着童真恐慌紧张悲哀折磨和温情等复杂感情，很打动人心。感觉“The interpreter of maladies”最一般，是一个怪异的令人费解的故事，但是取这篇标题作为本书的书名却觉得挺合适的，作者也像一个疾病解释者，将这些故事书写出来...多个小故事组成的一本书，有好有次，最喜欢“When Mr. Pirzada comes to dine”, 以一个小女孩的视角所描写的那些心理活动非常贴切精细，饱含着童真恐慌紧张悲哀折磨和温情等复杂感情，很打动人心。感觉“The interpreter of maladies”最一般，是一个怪异的令人费解的故事，但是取这篇标题作为本书的书名却觉得挺合适的，作者也像一个疾病解释者，将这些故事书写出来让所有人看到，但她只叙述，不抒情不评论，而这疾病，或许解释、理解、解决的了或许不能。作者的语言平实朴素，缓慢又细碎，有点回忆中喃喃自语的感觉。不见情感起伏跌宕，但叙述里能读到凄苦坚忍，眼泪和叹息。大概是印裔美国人这样一个特殊群体普遍的艰难吧。原本只想打3星，最后还是为了这份细腻打4星吧。(展开)
几年前上英语辅修专业的英语写作时，外教Brian推荐了这样一篇小说“The Third and Final Continent ”，作者是英国新生代女作家Jhumpa Lahiri，文章非常有味道。我写的textual analysis 可能是我至今写的最长的一篇英文作文，按照规定的结构，没有参考其他资料，老师给了100分...

精妙的故事如此重要，溫柔簡約的文字如此重要。具有深深的呼吸空間，每個細節都暖暖的烘出情感的流動，還有出人意表卻自然而然的佈局……真的是很厲害的短篇。

有好有坏吧，私下特喜欢首尾两个故事，感情描写一向是Lahiri擅长的地方。全集总有一种让我梦回同名人的错觉…这本书跟着我搬了那么多次家，欠了四年的债终于还上了！
