Any immigrant, who loves to read, should pick up this book. A lovely set of stories, on lvies of people who may reside overseas, or visit their homeland.

Especially heart warming is the last story in the set, about a newly married couple and their initial days in a new city in USA. The story plots the initial incidents of the hero, with his old landlord, and how he remembers her later, once he finds himself settled in Boston.

The title story also, has its twists, like many of Jhumpa's other...

The book is in good condition. I'm too exhilarated to receive this book as this is the second book I'm gonna read by the Pulitzer prize winner author 'Jhumpa Lahiri'. It's really charming when one gets into her book and find oneself to be absorbed in that so much that one forgets one surrounding. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to LOVE this book too by her...❤

Thanks Flipkart for this excellent book at a great price. And Jhumpa Lahiri's writings are just marvellous as was The Namesake. Each story is wrapped with the warmth of Bengali culture and Tradition. The stories are fragnated with the essence of age old tradition that still prevails in the streets of Kolkata.

This a very good collection of short stories. There is nothing fancy about any of them. But it is wonderfully written and once you start reading it is difficult to put down. Somehow it was easy on eyes and you could easily sympathize with characters.(eg: a real durwan)

I am a very impulsive person, cant read a book if it is too long..lose interest completely..but the intricate detailing with words and her capability to paint an image with words has mesmerized me.. the stories are heart touching ....i find this book as a wonderful companion in my solitude...thank you Ms lahiri for this.

I always wanted to read this book. It consists of short stories. Once you start reading the stories you just cannot stop, you want more and more. I would highly recommend this book.

Its worth your money, nice buy.

Certainly winner of Pulitzer Prize for her work, Lahiri has needled a number of emotions in a single garland of "Interpreter of Maladies". Each story is unique and original as a personal experience of writer or a thought of creativity. A good work to read to understand Lahiri's work of fiction.

Well with a Pulitzer Prize under its belt Lahiris tales are wonderfully written and engrossing. Most of the stories deal with Boston Bengalis but even the two tales written about native Indians are well written. All the stories are clear and concise and grapple with emotions which form the basis of everyday life. Loss, fear, suspicion,love, lust, detachment, patriotism and many such emotions are wonderfully delineated by the author so much so you can envisage the characters and the plot when ...

Bought this as the 2nd book of jhumpa lahiri after reading the lowland. Lowland is a nice book to read and so are these short stories but sometimes i had to stretch as some stories were getting boring. Overall good, nicely written and worth reading.

It is difficult to review this book, when I am little bit biased to author. I personally respect Jhumpa Lahiri for her extraordinary power of telling story and appropriate description of all corners.

Interpreter of Maladies is a book of short stories. My favourites are A Temporary Matter, Sexy, Mrs. Sen's, Treatment of Bibi Halder & The Third & Final Continent.

There are lots of moments which have shaken me. I, specially mention that moment, in "Sexy" story, where little Rohin explains the ...
