By Anne Cherian. Grade B+

When Vikram invited three of his college friends - Frances and Jay, and Lali - to his son's graduation from MIT, they view the party as a twenty-fifth reunion of sorts and accept out of obligation and curiosity.

They are more reluctant than enthusiastic to meet, however. For, after leaving UCLA with dreams of success and vast ambitions for what their children might achieve, things have not turned out quite as they had imagined.

As their lives are cracked open in the course...more

Immigrant fiction always attracts a good readership, but Anne Cherian somewhere falls into a set pattern.

Umpteen books have been written on the confused Indian in America syndrome. The Invitation by Anne Cherian belongs to that category. Thrown into the cauldron are a mix of Indians, influential and poor , a couple of stereotypes like Goans, South Indians, Jews and the virginity factor. That is garnished with the perennial Indian parent concern-Is my child doing better than the neighbour's child...more

It is thoroughly engaging and very interesting in its cultural details and intense scrutiny of the American Dream. The novel also evaluates embedded cultural values and how easily they can be destabilized and malleable when transported to another country.

The narrative carefully and inexorably examines not only the characters responses to the the conditions and environment of cultural and social conformity---one that is solidly located in the sphere of heterosexual norms and obligations---but the systems and social structures that engender conformity, and the tangled mess of self-interests, discipline, and ambition that is necessary to pull it off.

The novel seamlessly navigates the past and the present, skillfully foregrounding the details of each character's backstory and imbricating it with the present conflicts and challenges they face individually, as a spouse, and as parents.

There is Vic, the most successful of the group, the eldest son of a subsistence farmer, who grew up in a rural village and intuitively understood that education was his ticket out. When Vic's brilliant test results are publicized, he "savored his first victory. He had gone beyond every single person in the village. He had even surpassed the head landlord, the man who owned the village, to whom the villagers bowed down and called seth" (87). Vic 's triumphs in business anchor and sustain him, but his financial success does not free him and they do not enlighten him: "[Vic] had watched the ease with which fathers talked to their sons, treated them like valued friends. He wanted to be like those fathers. he didn't want to turn into his own father. When he returned home, conversation stopped after Vic asked Pitaji about his health, and about whether the fields had given good crops" (185).

Jay is the golden boy who faded when things became too difficult. His mediocre job and smallest house on the block are obvious examples of his so-called failure when compared to Vic. Jay is the son of affluence, educated in private schools and married to Frances, who defers to his male authority while she struggles to bolster the family's income by selling houses in a bad economy. Their marriage offended their parents. "The collective anger from across the ocean had made them closer. Jay and Frances assured each other that this was the right decision.... Having already gone against their parents' wishes, they planned to sculpt their own lives, unfettered by tradition and continuous expectations" (45).

Lali is the wallflower who married the jewish cardiologist, Jonathan and like Frances cannot move through a day without comparing herself to Frances or comparing Frances and jay to herself and Jonathan. lali is appalled that her son Aaron wants to take a year off from Harvard, knowing well the ins and outs of the data mining she believes other Indians will do when they find out because, as she tells Jonathan, "It's because you are not Indian.... It's hard to explain, but we all grew up assuming that people never tell the whole truth" (145).

Cherian's dialogues are natural and lush and we can see their faces and their gestures. Even the sighs are audible. The exchanges between children and adults are authentic and fully credible. There is not one moment when you doubt Cherian's authority and control of the story and the characters. Superb writing and while some reviewers have panned the ending, I found it intriguing, and a great set-up for her next novel.

Oh. And the characters stay with you... make you think about your own heritage and the inherent tensions. At times I thought the narrative had the exquisite feel of a Virginia Woolf novel... the broad landscapes and vista, the details of surroundings and minutia, the silences that bloom into thoughts and motivations... a very fine book!(less)

All four had come to the U.S. from India, each from a different walk of life, to pursue some version of the American dream. All four expected to be tremendous successes in life and have even more successful children. Frances and Jay, who met during college, married shortly after graduation and had three children while Frances sold real estate and Jay worked in management. Lali married an American cardiologist and the two had one son, and Vikram founded his own successful computer company and never stopped pursuing his desire to have colossal success.

Twenty-five years later, Vikram has invited his old friends to attend a party celebrating his son Nikhil's graduation from MIT. And while Jay, Frances, and Lali decide to attend the party more out of curiosity than anything else, none of their lives have been as smooth as they believe Vikram's is. Frances, who abandoned the pursuit of her PhD when she started having children, now sells real estate, although she hasn't sold a house in more than a year, Jay's middle-management job isn't quite what he imagined he'd be doing, and their oldest daughter is failing 11th grade. Lali's marriage is struggling as her husband begins to explore his neglected Jewish roots, and her son decides he wants to take a year off from college. And while Vikram is mostly concerned with the appearance of success, his son is not interested in pursuing the path Vikram feels he should. As the four prepare for the party and then meet at Vikram's mansion in Newport Beach, they need to decide how much truth they'll divulge to their friends, not realizing how the truth reveals itself in ways you never expect.

The plot of The Invitation is certainly familiar, but Anne Cherian's adept storytelling hooks you quickly and immerses you in each of the characters' lives and struggles. I felt like Cherian did a good job in trying not to have her characters adhere to cultural stereotypes, although you see how easy it is to slip back into old habits. Ultimately, however, the story veered a bit into melodramatic territory, which I felt undercut the book's effectiveness. I think Cherian is a very good writer, but it seemed to me that she lost a little steam as the book neared its end, although it is still an enjoyable read.(less)

In "The Invitation," Vic sends out an over-the-top, glitzy invitation for 150 people to attend his son's graduation party, celebrating Nik's graduation from MIT.

In "The Invitation," Vic sends out an over-the-top, glitzy invitation for 150 people to attend his son's graduation party, celebrating Nik's graduation from MIT.

The invitation hits hard among Nik's college friends, all of whom fear not having achieved what they so archly would believe to be their American success stories. Everybody wants a kid like Nik, one to show off to the friends how Indian parenting even in the new climate of the USA can produce the next generation of millionaires.

Vic owns a home in Newport Beach, CA. He has a traditional Indian bride, Priya, from an arranged marriage. Their two sons, especially the older one, receive the gift and the burden of fulfilling their parents' hopes. . .except someone forgot to tell the parents that kids grow into adults, who choose their own paths. The traditional ways of Priya and her learning of American customs are highlights of this book.

The couples have not met in 25 years. The women worry about their weight, their wrinkles, their choice of attire, and the behavior of their children. One child in particular, 17-year old Mandy, is the opposite of Nik. She is getting bad grades, and her parents have decided she will go to India with her mother to learn how to follow academic standards and quit being babied by the American school system. She is a dark and rebellious teen, so her appearance at the party portends all kinds of fears for her mom and dad,

Francis and Jay. Lali and Jonathan handle a different problem. Lali has married a white American. Their son, Aaron, looks like his father. He's at Harvard, so that brings big bragging rights. Except, he doesn't really like Harvard.

The early parts of the book reveal the different backgrounds of the six characters. Much is told in flashback. The contrast between Indian values and American values in terms of food, dress, boy-girl interactions, and respect for parents are woven into the geographical complexities of India and of Southern California.

"The Invitation" brings the reader to a better understanding of what immigrant dreams are made of and how the American dream of individualism sometimes conflicts with that dream. Four stars only for many pages of "telling" rather than "showing," but an enjoyable, quick read with an abrupt, unexpected ending. (less)

Cherian seems to have set out with one intent & one intent only, to ensure that all her non-South Asian readers understand that just because four people originally hail from the same country, that doesn't mean that they have one single thing in common culturally (appearance, language, food, religion, socioeconomic status) - this point is made and reinforced over and over again. I did appreciate all the interesting little facts about differing aspects of the cultures (no even numbers in Hindu gift-giving - I'm all set if I ever get invited to a wedding!), but again, I could have read a sociology text or a Lonely Planet guide for that sort of thing; in a work of fiction, I'd expect a bit more story & character. As numerous other reviewers have commented, Cherian's characters stay flat like caricatures; I believe it's more than possible to write a complex book that revolves around 4 superficial people, but that's not a feat this novel manages. Other reviewers commented that they had a hard time connecting with the characters due to how shallow they were - I think Cherian meant to tie in their preoccupations w/ how they appeared to others w/ the depiction of each character's personal and cultural background. In other words, for those of us who are unfamiliar with the culture(s) who would just write off wanting to appear successful as "shallow" (to the extent of parking our non-BMW/Mercedes vehicle several blocks away), she wants us to know that it's not that cut and dry - there are deep cultural reasons for being so image-obsessed, reasons that go back generations... I guess this is where all the comparisons to Oscar Wilde & Jane Austen come in, since many of their characters were image-obsessed due to their cultural trappings/societal pressures as well. Unfortunately, the writing is incredibly flat. Wilde & Austen are famous for their great wit, and there's simply not a trace of verve or whimsy to Cherian's verging-on-prissy writing style. One positive is that she moves the story along well enough, and I could never exactly tell where the story would go next. But all in all, the novel reads like a trifle, something I'll forget about a few days from now....(less)

I enjoyed reading this, but it was pretty slight. The characters never really rose above the level of caricature, making them seem like cardboard cutouts. The ending was very unsatisfying (she was aiming for pat, I think, and missed) and left too many questions unanswered. The thing that bugged me the most was that in a middle of a conversation, the narrating character would go off on a reverie about their past (usually what had happened in India before they left), which would go on for several...more

The Invitation, allows her the opportunity to present four different accounts of this experience. The book recounts the varied experiences of Jay, Frances, Lali and Vikram, four friends who met in the 1970s while pursuing graduate degrees at UCLA. Frances is a Goan who was raised to believe in love matches and who schemed to find a way to study in the US. Jay grew up in a wealthy Indian family that wanted him to accept an arranged marriage and return to India to work for a family friend, and has struggled economically in the US. Jay and Frances had easier initial transitions to the US than their two friends but twenty-five years later the former "golden couple" which united the foursome is struggling both personally and professionally. In contrast, Vikram, the nerd who was one of the first to leave his small village in India and who embraced an arranged marriage, has been wildly successful in America. He built a successful computer company and sent his son to MIT--Mighty Indian Triumph. Lali took a totally different path, after a youthful sexual experience made her believe she would not be a suitable match for an arranged marriage, and moved to San Francisco and married a white man. While she has the trappings of success-- a Harvard-educated cardiologist husband and a son enrolled at Harvard--she is at a cross roads as an empty nester and feels disconnected in her marriage when her husband rediscovers his Jewish roots. The four friends are forced to examine their divergent choices when Vikram sends out an invitation to a graduation party for his oldest son.

I love reading about different cultures especially Indian culture. I was particularly excited to read about the Goan experience, as my former roommate's family is from Goa and it is something I'd like to learn more about. Cherian is able to explain so much about the different castes and cultures in India through this one constrained narrative. The novel also vividly depicts the varied experiences of first generation Indian Americans and the conflicts between their dual cultures. For example, Vikram's son has followed the path his father has outlined for him. He studied hard, got into MIT and graduated with honors. But he has grown up in the US and wants to pursue his own passion. Jay and Frances's oldest, Mandy, was once a gifted student but is floundering academically as she faces the stereotype that all Indians perform well. That one idea was something I wanted to read more about. I wish the story had given even more attention to the experiences of the children, possibly providing some of their own voices.

My other criticism is that I wanted more from the ending of the story. It was wonderful to see the four friends interact with one another twenty-five years later. And I understand some of the choices the author makes in terms of why she chose her open-ended closing, but I still longed for more of a neat wrap-up. Overall, I highly recommend both of Cherian's novels. I was left wanting more closure for the characters, but I found them to be incredibly well-drawn and realistic.(less)
