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

移民文学究竟会走到什么境界?除了疏离、恐惧、遗憾,是不是有些东西被蒙在移民文学这个标签下缺少了更深层次的思索,只是因为不适所以更多的问题凸显了,比如爱情,比如失去,比如童年。从这个角度说,拉西里写什么样的故事是不重要的,即使是曲折反复的爱情故事,也看过太多...

这位作者的书国内出版了三本,本本经典,不是文学上的珠穆朗玛峰那种高度,属于平原风光的旖旎,有些发现非常微妙,切入非常巧妙,值得收藏阅读。之前的《疾病解说者》与《同名人》都是顶呱呱的,《同名人》属于长篇,一点也不亚于她的短篇,叙述沉稳流畅,没有太多火化,却能...

在当今世界文坛,茱帕·拉希里(Jhumpa Lahiri)不算有名,尽管出了三部小说,但三部小说多少都具有某种同质性:性别的不平等、爱情的永恒缺憾,移民的身份焦虑,海海人间的种种隔阂。这种同质性或许和作者的经历有关。作为孟加拉裔印度移民的后代,她生在英国,长在美国,同时...

刚开始是在学校看到有同学在阿里推打折网http://www.alitui.com/remai/买了这个版本,我翻了下质量蛮好的之后就开始迷恋了 之前在印度旅行的时候买了原版书Unaccustomed Earth,非常好的一本小说集。写出了印度第二代移民在中西方文化之间的游荡和碰撞,远离和回归。
