JHUMPA LAHIRI
Unaccustomed Earth
(Knopf, $25.00)
|
In a starred review, Publishers Weekly said: "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... Lahiri's stories of exile, identity, disappointment and maturation evince a spare and subtle mastery that has few contemporary equals." And Kirkus called the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's new book "...a collection that has a novel's thematic cohesion, narrative momentum and depth of character... The London-born, American-raised author of Indian descent returns with some of her most compelling fiction to date... An eye for detail, ear for dialogue and command of family dynamics distinguish this uncommonly rich collection." | |
