基兰·德赛,1971年出生于印度,15岁时定居英国,目前是美国哥伦比亚大学写作班的一名学生。德赛的母亲阿妮塔·德赛也是非常知名的作家,她自1980年起就曾三次进入布克奖的总决选名单,可惜从未折桂。阿妮塔曾经劝说女儿不要进入这个行列,理由是写作太难。而女儿最终以自己的成就给予母亲最大的安慰和回报。基兰·德赛的处女作《番石榴园的喧哗》曾受到各方的一致赞誉。2006年她凭借第二部长篇小说《失落》(The Inheritance of Loss,又译为《失落之遗产》)获得布克奖,成为有史以来赢得该奖项的最年轻的女作家。
Published to extraordinary acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. She illuminates the pain of exile and the ambiguities of postcolonialism with a tapestry of colorful characters: an embittered old judge; Sai, his sixteen-year-old orphaned granddaughter; a chatty cook; and the cook’s son, Biju, who is hopscotching from one miserable New York restaurant to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS. When a Nepalese insurgency in the mountains threatens Sai’s new-sprung romance with her handsome tutor, their lives descend into chaos. The cook witnesses India’s hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge revisits his past and his role in Sai and Biju’s intertwining lives. A story of depth and emotion, hilarity and imagination, The Inheritance of Loss tells a story of love, family, and loss.

评分 评分to tell the truth. I didn't finish it, though I made my attempts. Maybe I am prejudiced. Never found any contemporary writer from India or Pakistan really interesting. (anyone who want to beat me for this: u r welcome to recommend ur favorite) At least this...
评分《The Inheritance of Loss》,印度女作家的作品,得到了布克奖的肯定。书的简介中说,这位叛逆的七十年代生人的女生,曾经为了自己的选择弄得众叛亲离。这样说也许还是有些过,特别是在我们这样一个没有信仰的国度;而“道不同,不与为谋”则是我们古人的道理了。作者的母...
评分很多作家在写作之初,都回到了故乡――最熟悉的地方。经过距离和时间的酝酿,那里渐渐生出诗意,所以一些作家一辈子孜孜于此,把它当成唯一的源泉,何况刚刚开始写作的作家,那似乎是唯一可写的。诗人里尔克对年青诗人说,如果没有什么可写的,你还有自己的童年。 基兰·德赛...
