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.

(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...
评分这本书其实前段时间就已看完,只是最近懒病又发作,所以拖至今日才写。 这当然并不是一本医学普及读物。而是一个印裔美籍女作家的第一本短篇小说集。不得不说,看完之后真是惊艳。原来写作真真需要天分,如无天分,还是不要勉强的好。 虽然我偏爱厚厚的长篇小说,而且也不常...

评分太真实了,平淡却不乏力量,一针见血,每一篇故事,都能准确的刺中你心中最柔软的地方。 停电时分:我们该如何治疗内心的疾病?如何去面对丧子之痛?与女主宣泄式的悲痛不同,男主把自己的悲痛藏得很深,是因为对妻子的爱,两个人中总有一个人需要坚强,才能撑起生活的重量。 ...
在拼命向外逃的时候,回头找不到自己的根。一点都不像卡佛好嘛!就在一篇篇“唔,不错”“啥这也能得普利策?”“妈呀细节描述太好了!”中很快翻完了。有点后悔买了书,放在Kindle里看看还不错
评分总有些淡淡的细节直达内心。K13
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。
评分在TAL上听了This Blessed House,果然是最有TAL气质的一篇……
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。
