Interpreter of Maladies - Jhumpa Lahiri


"Still, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination."


Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of nine stories, marks the debut of a remarkable Indian-American writer. A grand debut it is! Her title story has been selected for both the O'Henry award and the annual Best American Short Stories. Topping this, the book, last month, won her the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, 2000.


I was really happy to read the fabulous "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri, especially the last story "The Third and Final Continent".

A beautiful read.
