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.

She is currently a professor of creative writing at Princeton University.
相比于成就和纯熟的小说技艺,裘帕-拉希莉真是年轻得不可思议。 而她背后拖出来的、在英国出生的印度裔美国人身份,则又给我带来既古老又年轻的印象。 她的这本处女作,虽然只有九个短篇,但每篇我都看过三遍,所以相当于二十七篇。 每一篇中都有一个边界的折痕,从印度来的...
评分 评分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...
评分(2017-10-16 《单读》) 1 1941年,七十二岁的亨利•马蒂斯开始尝试一套新的艺术创作技法:将画纸用水粉颜料涂成各种颜色,再剪下纸片,拼贴布置成图像。这位影响现代艺术至巨的画家就此放弃了油画笔和画布,改弦易辙拾起了剪刀和水粉刷。 色彩剪贴成了马蒂斯艺术生涯最...
评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...
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。
评分写的太他娘的好了
评分总有些淡淡的细节直达内心。K13
