Mr. Kapasi, the protagonist of Jhumpa Lahiri's title story, would certainly have his work cut out for him if he were forced to interpret the maladies of all the characters in this eloquent debut collection. Take, for example, Shoba and Shukumar, the young couple in "A Temporary Matter" whose marriage is...
Born in London and raised in Rhode Island by her Bengali parents, Jhumpa Lahiri (b. 1967) visited Calcutta often as a child and recognizes the importance of both Indian and American cultures in shaping her perspective on llfe.

So close in age, they were inseparable in childhood and yet, as the years pass – as U.S tanks roll into Vietnam and riots...

Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies established this young writer as one the most brilliant of her generation.
