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. Lahiri's work explores the Indian-immigrant experience in America. 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.
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.
上周末刚跟爱人吵架一次。应该是最愤怒的一次。现在就看到了这个《停电时刻》。一份感情能维持多久?我回忆起吵架的时刻就非常低落。而看完这个短篇我又有了点信心。我应该在婚姻中保持能够独自积极生活的能力,而不是靠对方。但是对方也不应该每天平淡的生活没有一点乐趣才行...
評分作者细腻的笔触让人觉得她仿佛经历过所写的那些事情,很多的名词,看似平淡的叙述,却让我觉得非常的伤感。 伤感还来源于,她算是第一代移民的后裔,我忍不住想到如果自己留在美国,那我的孩子又会是怎样一种情况呢?我对中文的缱绻若是遗传到了他的身上,是不是也变成对英语...
評分她的短篇几乎都有一个一句话就能说清的故事,情节不枝蔓、人物也不多。文字是平实和小火慢炖的功夫。短篇切忌往里头塞太多东西,有一条吸引人读下去的中心线索、有一两处场景的亮点就好,不然功夫互相抵消。 A Temporary Matter:丈夫去外地开会期间遭遇妻子流产。回来后,因...
評分一、 趁着黑暗,让我们说出一些事情,一边说一边伤害,这是多么令人着迷的游戏:——你偷看了我的通讯簿,借口加班偷偷去喝酒;我卖掉了你送我的结婚礼物一件小背心,还在你怀孕期间保存了一张性感的广告女郎的照片。最后说出的死去的婴孩结束了这一游戏,这对夫妻,为着一些...
評分故事和故事是不同的。那些急迫的、紧张的、扣人心弦的故事,可以从第一行起就抓住你的心,让你迫不及待地想知道每一点情节的发展;但也有那么一类故事,一开始是平淡如水,可字里行间却孕育着某些难以名状的情绪,而且这些情绪会随着阅读的过程静静地增长,直到有一行触动心灵...

评分Jhumpa Lahiri is a quiet observer, a smart philosopher, an unbiased narrator and a romantic poet. She is my writing goal.
评分在拼命嚮外逃的時候,迴頭找不到自己的根。一點都不像卡佛好嘛!就在一篇篇“唔,不錯”“啥這也能得普利策?”“媽呀細節描述太好瞭!”中很快翻完瞭。有點後悔買瞭書,放在Kindle裏看看還不錯
