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.

ENGL129。故事动人、文笔优秀的短篇小说集。把20世纪中后期印巴战争与移民史写为一篇篇个体的故事。平淡而简练的叙述，情节多用平-起-平的结构，由日常开始，中间穿插一个变数，最后回归日常。很多篇都涉及一个coming of age的主角视角，所以也是关于“人如何长大成人”的故事。另一个反复出现的主题是婚姻与孩子。作者笔下的婚姻是复杂而伴随着谎言与妥协的，孩子则是连结夫妻的纽带，这点在a temp...ENGL129。故事动人、文笔优秀的短篇小说集。把20世纪中后期印巴战争与移民史写为一篇篇个体的故事。平淡而简练的叙述，情节多用平-起-平的结构，由日常开始，中间穿插一个变数，最后回归日常。很多篇都涉及一个coming of age的主角视角，所以也是关于“人如何长大成人”的故事。另一个反复出现的主题是婚姻与孩子。作者笔下的婚姻是复杂而伴随着谎言与妥协的，孩子则是连结夫妻的纽带，这点在a temporary matter和the treatment of bibi中最为明显。移民和文化适应的部分很能引起共鸣。用教授的话说是realist, value-driven stories. Life is vulnerable and can change drastically anytime.(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...

3.5星吧。中产阶级那几篇很无感，略矫情。最喜欢同名短篇和最后一篇以作者父亲为原型的故事。

经历过移民生活，和在新的环境里与他人的隔阂，这些故事就会让你又一遍的感触。书里描写的印度，在某些方面跟我记忆中的中国真的很像。

Jhumpa Lahiri is a quiet observer, a smart philosopher, an unbiased narrator and a romantic poet. She is my writing goal.
