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。
Kiran Desai's first novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard , was published to unanimous acclaim in over twenty-two countries. Now Desai takes us to the northeastern Himalayas where a rising insurgency challenges the old way of life. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga lives an embittered old judge who wants to retire in peace when his orphaned granddaughter Sai arrives on his doorstep. The judge's chatty cook watches over her, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS, forced to consider his country's place in the world. When a Nepalese insurgency in the mountains threatens Sai's new-sprung romance with her handsome Nepali tutor and causes their lives to descend into chaos, they, too, are forced to confront their colliding interests. The nation fights itself. The cook witnesses the hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge must revisit his past, his own role in this grasping world of conflicting desires-every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal. A novel of depth and emotion, Desai's second, long-awaited novel fulfills the grand promise established by her first.

读后感
《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...
评分真是失落情绪浓重的一本书,每个人物的遭遇都有类似于僵局的味道,失落是必然,又挣扎得十分悲情.好在作者笔法幽默通透,许多桥段叫人看了大笑而会心.
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...
评分一个陌生的国度，陌生的历史，陌生的生活...普通人生命的片段展现一个国家一段历史,陌生而新奇,沉重而无奈.
