susieliston 's review for:

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri

3.0

---

I read this when it first came out, and I recall that I thought the stories were pretty depressing overall. But obviously I was impressed enough with the writing that I went on to read all Jhumpa Lahiri's successive books. Rereading this, I felt the same way. These stories are very melancholy, but her writing style does get a hook in me.
