Unaccustomed Earth
by Jhumpa Lahiri
by Jhumpa Lahiri
Perhaps a new term needs to be used for short stories such as these. Each one is jam-packed with details that never bog down; each one is as dense and rich as a novel. The writing never falters; it is always smooth, flowing and self-assured.
Of course the last 3 stories could be a novella, and we are lucky not to have to buy a separate book to experience them.
Wonderful characters, wonderful stories, wonderful writing.

And she's so YOUNG. What controlled, wise prose; this may be better than Interpreter of Maladies.
