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.

Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri (born July 11, 1967) is an American author of Indian origin, known for her short stories, novels and essays in English, and, more recently, in Italian. Lahiri's work explores the Indian-immigrant experience in America. Her debut short fiction collection Interpreter of Maladies (1999) won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Hemingway Award, and her first novel, The Namesake (2003), was adapted into the popular film of the same name. Her second story collection Unaccustomed Earth (2008) won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. In 2011, Lahiri moved to Rome, Italy and has since then published two books of essays, and has a forthcoming novel written in Italian. She has also translated some of her own writings and those of other authors from Italian into English. In 2014, Lahiri was awarded the National Humanities Medal. She is currently a professor of creative writing at Princeton University.
I love how she weaves together a dense web of sensations, the aroma of spices, the tactility, the mundane joy-giving objects and trinkets she painstakingly observes. 但总体因为离Indian diaspora太远，所以体会不够深。比较...I love how she weaves together a dense web of sensations, the aroma of spices, the tactility, the mundane joy-giving objects and trinkets she painstakingly observes. 但总体因为离Indian diaspora太远，所以体会不够深。比较喜欢的是同名那篇、'sexy'、'blessed house'，btw Lahiri的角色都太bougie了吧好像每一对couple中都有一个要么在读phd要么在当教授。(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...

她也好，李翊云也罢，亚裔移民女作家给我的感觉就是碎碎念。用的词也不平淡（毕竟跟着第一篇我学了一堆印度料理的名字，还会用arsenal比喻夫妻冷战时女主角手上的笔），但就是无聊无趣，占了个政治正确的道理，就算是写战场上的故事也摆脱不了方寸之间小家子气的格局。

真是老天赏饭吃的文笔。文学都在细节里，单看这九个故事，每个都可以是标题为一件小事的中学作文，但是细节太丰富太有意境了。一沙一世界，一花一天国。

第一篇和同名篇好，其他取巧而平庸。精心设计的平实语言带来虚浮感，把名字和文化背景换成东亚拉美依然不影响故事。刻意追求的普世性生不出根

我喜欢的她的故事是这种类型：像一朵花，开着开着无缘无故就谢了。
