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.

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。

超subtle的故事 超像Amy TAN 看完有点难过但是又觉得超powerful

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。

之前讨论时因为准备其他考试，几乎把大部分reading翘过去，现在又自己心甘情愿的拿起来重读。不愧是普利策得奖小说，越是漫不经心的喃喃叙述，越有深藏暗涌的感动，就好像最好的年华总在平实的日子里。

非常好的书，通过一连串的故事，叙述了移民的心理和文化冲击。 语言平实，但是非常有味道。

放在99年的亚裔文学里算是可圈可点的 | 第一次读印度裔新移民作者的小说，和华裔文学中诸多重叠的元素 (疯女人，美国化的年轻女人，etc.) 蛮有意思的。第一篇中的家应该是在Coolidge Corner (Beacon St, neighborhood bookstore & icecream shop) | 最喜欢的是A Blessed House。节奏掌握的很好，词用的很漂亮。| 最后一篇讲... 放在99年的亚裔文学里算是可圈可点的 | 第一次读印度裔新移民作者的小说，和华裔文学中诸多重叠的元素 (疯女人，美国化的年轻女人，etc.) 蛮有意思的。第一篇中的家应该是在Coolidge Corner (Beacon St, neighborhood bookstore & icecream shop) | 最喜欢的是A Blessed House。节奏掌握的很好，词用的很漂亮。| 最后一篇讲自己父亲的生活史的，笔调一转变得温情又达观，我反倒是更喜欢压抑又沉郁的那几篇。| Jhumpa从22岁到30岁在BU读了四个学位： English, Creative Writing, Comp Literature, Renaissance Studies (PhD)，可真幸福...

细腻的文笔，字里行间透着淡淡的忧伤。回不去的故乡，挣扎在两种文化之间的移民。最喜欢第一篇。
