This sure sounds like a great book! I really need to get my TBR pile shorter so I can add to it!

I loved and will run out and purchase this book as soon as I get a chance. I just read the ARC of which is a collection of short stories about Russian immigrants. Check out my review at LibrarysCat Book Blog. It would be lovely to compare the two. If you would like my copy, send me an email and I will ship it right away.

This was my first book of Lahiri I read, though heard of Namesake. I agree with you, it is an interesting read… I intend to get a hold of the other two later.

I’ve just finished Interpreter of Maladies and loved it. Very rich in detail.

Unaccustomed Earth was also my first experience with Lahiri and I loved the collection.

She is a short story genius. Just finished this one and I think it’s my favorite Lahiri. Hard to say. thanks for the review.

I’ve enjoyed The Namesake very much. She has a knack to explore cultural and generational difference. Her writings, in my opinion, will become a significant reflection on the immigrant experience in this melting pot.

I did like Interpreter of Maladies, as much as I can like a short story collection. I’ll probably skip this one, though… being short short stories and all. I should read The Namesake, though.

BTW, I tagged you for a meme.

I think you’ll love Interpreter of Maladies. It’s a terrific read and a great book to listen to on audiobook if you get the chance.

I haven’t yet read *Interpreter of Maladies* or *Unaccustomed Earth* yet, but *The Namesake* is one of my favorite novels of the past few years!

She does a great job telling the immigrant/second-generation story — the difficuly of which customs and traditions to keep and which to let go of; the tension between the parents and the second-generation children. wonderful details.
