Interpreter of Maladies
Title: Interpreter of Maladies
Author: Jhumpa Lahiri
Pages: 198
Rating: 3 stars
I feel truly ashamed to give a book that won the Pulitzer three stars, but while I recognize that the writing was excellent, the subject matter good, the stories , the balance well kept between the short stories....I didn't really enjoy it. I liked a couple of the short stories, but most of the others I read left me a little cold. Nor did I actively dislike it. I was simply not moved.
The book, I can objectively say, is good. It's a series of short stories about people whose ancestors were from India, living their lives, trying to find satisfaction with whatever they have. Each story is unique, and I daresay interesting. If you were interested in this book, I would tell you to read it. It just wasn't quite for me.
