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.

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.

评分 评分 评分今天开始看《疾病解说者》,才看了第一篇《停电时分》。 今天看了第一篇《停电时分》:讲的是一对年轻夫妻,经历过丧子之痛后,在不能面对彼此、日益逃离的生活中,遇到了一段因小区电路整修而在晚饭时节停电的日子,两个人有机会在幽暗之中,开启那片痛楚之地,重新识别对方...
评分1985年,是“现代电影界的莎士比亚”,美国导演、编剧、演员奥逊·威尔斯生命的最后一年。从转入大银幕开启作为电影人的艺术生涯伊始,奥逊·威尔斯的名字就在世界影史上闪耀着它不灭的光芒,而这一切始于时年26岁的他拍摄的电影《公民凯恩》。在这部自导自演的电影处女作中,...

评分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。
评分她也好,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。
评分Some of the short stories are very good.
评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。
