A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for Interpreter of Maladies:

"A wonderfully distinct new voice ... so eloquent and assured that the reader easily forgets that Interpreter of Maladies is a young writer's first book." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"Lahiri writes such direct, translucent prose you almost forget you're reading...Stunning." -- Newsweek

"Dazzling writing ... Lahiri displays a remarkable maturity and ability to imagine other lives ... Each story offers something special." -- USA Today

"Eloquent ... a writer of uncommon sensitivity and restraint." -- Wall Street Journal

"Wonderful ... engaging ... these wry, surprising fictions turn on the hopes, the fantasies, the disappointments and secrets connected with emigration and dislocation." -- Francine Prose, Elle

For The Namesake:

"Jhumpa Lahiri's quietly dazzling new novel, 'The Namesake,' is that rare thing: an intimate, closely observed family portrait that effortlessly and discreetly unfolds to disclose a capacious social vision ... It more than fulfills the promise of Ms. Lahiri's debut collection of stories, 'Interpreter of Maladies' ... Ms. Lahiri has not only given us a wonderfully intimate and knowing family portrait, she has also taken the haunting chamber music of her first collection of stories and re-orchestrated its themes of exile and identity to create a symphonic work, a debut novel that is as assured and eloquent as the work of a long-time master of the craft" - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"A strong and satisfying follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning story collection ... Gracefully written and filled with well-observed details, Lahiri's novel - like her hero - manages to bridge two very different societies and to give us the absolute best of both ... Assured and appealing" - Francine Prose, People

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Jhumpa Lahiri took the literary world by storm when her debut collection, Interpreter of Maladies, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. The collection was followed by her best-selling and critically acclaimed novel The Namesake—a finely wrought, deeply moving family drama. Presenting these works together here, this edition displays Lahiri’s enormous talent as a storyteller.
