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.

评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...

评分在TAL上听了This Blessed House,果然是最有TAL气质的一篇……
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。
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。
