Interpreter of Maladies

Om boken

Jhumpa Lahiri's prize-winning debut collection explores the lives of Indians in exile – of people navigating between the strict traditions they've inherited and the baffling New World they must encounter every day. Whether set in Boston or Bengal, these sublimely understated stories, imbued with humour and subtle detail, speak with eloquence to anyone who has ever felt the yearnings of exile or the emotional confusion of an outsider. 'One of the finest short story writers I've ever read' — Amy Tan 'Lahiri is a writer of uncommon elegance and poise, and with Interpreter of Maladies she has made a precocious debut' — New York Times
