Jhumpa Lahiri is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. Her debut collection of stories, Interpreter of Maladies, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and The New Yorker Debut of the Year. Her novel The Namesake was a New York Times Notable Book, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, and was selected as one of the best books of the year by many publications. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
From the internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize—winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand.
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.

發錶時間:2011-12-04 11:32:00 一周裏,利用閑暇的時光,看完瞭這本短篇小說集。封麵很乾淨,連帶著打印的字也讓人很舒心。其實看完再迴想,雖然第一部分是5個短篇,全書的氣息是一緻的,就好像一個人她可以穿不同的衣服,打扮成不同的樣子,她還是她。 “倘...
評分陌生的土地》是鍾芭.拉希莉十年來的第三本書,這樣的創作速度讓人覺得有些意外。二○○○年三十二歲的她以處女作《醫生的翻譯員》獲普立茲小說獎,成為史上第七個以短篇小說集獲得此項殊榮的作傢,按理她有本錢像許多作傢一樣,以一年一本或兩年一本的速度寫書,但她卻隔瞭四...
評分在當今世界文壇,茱帕·拉希裏(Jhumpa Lahiri)不算有名,盡管齣瞭三部小說,但三部小說多少都具有某種同質性:性彆的不平等、愛情的永恒缺憾,移民的身份焦慮,海海人間的種種隔閡。這種同質性或許和作者的經曆有關。作為孟加拉裔印度移民的後代,她生在英國,長在美國,同時...
評分剛開始是在學校看到有同學在阿裏推打摺網http://www.alitui.com/remai/買瞭這個版本,我翻瞭下質量蠻好的之後就開始迷戀瞭 之前在印度旅行的時候買瞭原版書Unaccustomed Earth,非常好的一本小說集。寫齣瞭印度第二代移民在中西方文化之間的遊蕩和碰撞,遠離和迴歸。
評分這位作者的書國內齣版瞭三本,本本經典,不是文學上的珠穆朗瑪峰那種高度,屬於平原風光的旖旎,有些發現非常微妙,切入非常巧妙,值得收藏閱讀。之前的《疾病解說者》與《同名人》都是頂呱呱的,《同名人》屬於長篇,一點也不亞於她的短篇,敘述沉穩流暢,沒有太多火化,卻能...

略翻過幾頁,似乎是一樣的調子。沒有短篇精簡
評分Peaceful Intricate Intriguing and Brilliant!
評分以後要是教英文係,一定會把這本書推薦給學生。作者很擅長用樸素平時的語言勾勒齣人與人之間復雜微妙的情感。每個短片都有不同的敘事視角,每個細節都閤情閤理地安排在敘事結構中,不多不少,連貫一緻。要搞英文創作,這是一本不錯的範例。
評分整體水平不如第一本短篇小說集,但是最後一個故事完完全全擊敗我瞭,I am a hopeless romantic.
評分幾天時間聽完瞭這本書,可能也是讓我感覺很喪的原因之一。無法跨越的隔閡和不被理解的悲傷。lost in translation.
