From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The gulf that separates expatriate Bengali parents from their American-raised children—and that separates the children from India—remains Lahiri's subject for this follow-up to Interpreter of Maladies and The Namesake. In this set of eight stories, the results are again stunning. In the title story, Brooklyn-to-Seattle transplant Ruma frets about a presumed obligation to bring her widower father into her home, a stressful decision taken out of her hands by his unexpected independence. The alcoholism of Rahul is described by his elder sister, Sudha; her disappointment and bewilderment pack a particularly powerful punch. And in the loosely linked trio of stories closing the collection, the lives of Hema and Kaushik intersect over the years, first in 1974 when she is six and he is nine; then a few years later when, at 13, she swoons at the now-handsome 16-year-old teen's reappearance; and again in Italy, when she is a 37-year-old academic about to enter an arranged marriage, and he is a 40-year-old photojournalist. An inchoate grief for mothers lost at different stages of life enters many tales and, as the book progresses, takes on enormous resonance. Lahiri's stories of exile, identity, disappointment and maturation evince a spare and subtle mastery that has few contemporary equals. (Apr.)

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Following her thoughtful first novel, The Namesake (2003), which has been made into a meditative film, Lahiri returns to the short story, the form that earned her the Pulitzer Prize for her debut, Interpreter of Maladies (1999). The tight arc of a story is perfect for Lahiri’s keen sense of life’s abrupt and painful changes, and her avid eye for telling details. This collection’s five powerful stories and haunting triptych of tales about the fates of two Bengali families in America map the perplexing hidden forces that pull families asunder and undermine marriages. “Unaccustomed Earth,” the title story, dramatizes the divide between immigrant parents and their American-raised children, and is the first of several scathing inquiries into the lack of deep-down understanding and trust in a marriage between a Bengali and non-Bengali. An inspired miniaturist, Lahiri creates a lexicon of loaded images. A hole burned in a dressy skirt suggests vulnerability and the need to accept imperfection. Van Eyck’s famous painting, The Arnolfini Marriage, is a template for a tale contrasting marital expectations with the reality of familial relationships. A collapsed balloon is emblematic of failure. A lost bangle is shorthand for disaster. Lahiri’s emotionally and culturally astute short stories (ideal for people with limited time for pleasure reading and a hunger for serious literature) are surprising, aesthetically marvelous, and shaped by a sure and provocative sense of inevitability. --Donna Seaman
感受之处从第二章开始才显露出来,这就像是我早就预料到一样 她平时的叙述 就像是平时到自己记日记 毫无功利之心 我想这是怎样都掩饰不了的,如果有其他目的的话 这是最最让我欣喜的地方,因为畅销书 所以更难得 如题,不适之地。再讲了两段印度人到美国之后的一些事,可我...
评分美籍孟加拉裔印度移民茱帕•拉希里的短篇小说集《不适之地》,好到让人吃惊。 春节过后,飞去外地与亲友小聚,行前抓本薄点的书飞机上读。去途第一篇,也就是用作书名的《不适之地》读了一半,虽被其纤细、安静的书写所吸引,但由于近在眉睫的相聚,并不太能静下心来。久别...
评分茱帕·拉希里(Jhumpa Lahiri )是美国当代文坛具有影响力的孟加拉裔女作家,她的最新小说集《不适之地》(unaccustomed Earth)(上海译文出版社,2011)延续了其短篇小说集《疾病解说者》(Interpreter of Maladies)(上海文艺出版社,2005)和长篇小说《同名人》(The namesake...
评分不适之地,第一篇和第三篇印象深刻,这些故事仔细回想,好像什么故事性的事情都没有发生。没有超出于普通生活之外的任何情节,但是很奇怪,就是非常吸引人,非常有画面感。叙述手段是主角,偶尔的神游心理活动,加上一些生活琐碎,整个节奏都是不疾不缓,匀速推动。好像是第一...
评分陌生的土地》是鍾芭.拉希莉十年來的第三本書,這樣的創作速度讓人覺得有些意外。二○○○年三十二歲的她以處女作《醫生的翻譯員》獲普立茲小說獎,成為史上第七個以短篇小說集獲得此項殊榮的作家,按理她有本錢像許多作家一樣,以一年一本或兩年一本的速度寫書,但她卻隔了四...
