Reddit reviews Interpreter of Maladies

Jhumpa Lahiri! Insightful and captivating. Great stuff if you are interested in the immigrant experience or in India, generally. Since I haven't read her novels yet I will single out [Interpreter of Maladies] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/039592720X?pc_redir=1405339911&robot_redir=1) for your consideration, it's a collection of short stories.

I'm currently reading Up In The Old Hotel, by Joseph Mitchell, who used to write for the New Yorker. It's a collection of largely non-fiction stories, most of which concern eccentrics living in New York City around the time of the FDR presidency and a little after. It's a great read, though for some reason I had to accustom myself to it. I'm now enjoying it more than when I started it.

I'm also reading a collection of short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri, Interpreter of Maladies, for which she won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize. I've only read the first two, but they are terrific. I'm treating the book as if it were a fine box of chocolate truffles. The stories seem too fine to be gorging oneself on them.
