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.

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“倘若世世代代都在同一處不再肥沃的土地上反復紮根,人性就會像將馬鈴薯種在這片土地上無法繁茂茁壯。我的孩子們已經誕生在他處,即便我能力所及、掌控得瞭他們的命運,他們也將在不適之地紮根。”這段話齣自美國作傢霍桑的名作《紅字》,被曾獲奧康納國際短篇小說奬第一名的...
評分發錶時間: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...
評分作者少年寫瞭個短篇集得普利策成名。寫來寫去大都是印度孟加拉裔跑到美國東北某藤校讀博士,然後寫那種背景的一代二代的故事。看起來很無趣沒什麼可寫的一群,因為海外大部分30歲以上的中國人也是類似背景,華人論壇上的話題總是那些,但作者卻能一本接一本的寫,還寫齣新意,...
評分移民文學究竟會走到什麼境界?除瞭疏離、恐懼、遺憾,是不是有些東西被濛在移民文學這個標簽下缺少瞭更深層次的思索,隻是因為不適所以更多的問題凸顯瞭,比如愛情,比如失去,比如童年。從這個角度說,拉西裏寫什麼樣的故事是不重要的,即使是麯摺反復的愛情故事,也看過太多...

評分短篇小說集,隻讀瞭主打故事“不適之地”,沒感覺有什麽不適的啊,看上去你們不論是印度還是孟加拉的過的比阿拉伯來的還滋潤。再說都是G2瞭,還能有什麽不適呢,苦大仇深的我苦不堪言啊,罄竹難書!!
評分Lahiri 依然細膩犀利。
評分in comparision with the meaningful title story,it's a pity that part two is a bit cliche,one might anticipate short stories are the writer's stronghold.
評分在機場看到印度轉機的傢庭們都覺得親切瞭!Lahiri的筆觸太細密,brutal and cruel。
