I affected me for days. Even though none of that had happened to me, it felt so intimate and painful to me! Thanks for reminding me! Now I need to check out <i>Unaccustomed Earth</i>.

Thanks for reminding me! Now I need to check out Unaccustomed Earth.

I believe she has only just come out in hardback over here in the UK. Still, there will be cheap copies somewhere! Lovely review.

I first read a story from Interpreter of Maladies in a short story class, though I never completed it but recently read Unaccustomed Earth. Unaccustomed Earth was another great read and a terrific short story collection. Lahiri has definitely become one of my favorites.

Also see on your recent reads that you've read The Matisse Stories - I thought they were great. And Miss Pettigrew - wonderful! And wasn't Pistache amusing? Loved their Woolf.

I'm glad to hear The Namesake is good, as I hve it on my TBR shelf. But I'm reading Unaccustomed Earth first as I so enjoyed her short story writing.

Interpretation of Maladies has sat on my night-stand for a long time and thanks to your recommendation I think the pages will finally see light! :) I’m not a huge fan of short stories, but I have read and loved The Namesake, Jumpha’s novel.
