Interpreter Of Maladies Unabridged Audio
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and
the baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant,
touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of cultures and
generations. In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New
Yorker, a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of
a stillborn birth, while their Boston neighborhood copes with a
nightly blackout. In the title story, an interpreter guides an
American family through the India of their ancestors and hears an
astonishing confession.
Lahiri writes with deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai
and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant.
