Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri

4.0

---

I lean towards stories about immigrant experiences and Lahiri reveals its unique and universal aspects through these stories in a graceful and, at times, heartbreaking manner. "A Temporary Matter" blew me away, probably one of the best short stories I've read. "Interpreter of the Maladies" is another exceptional piece in this collection. Lahiri is an amazing writer, especially with descriptions of her characters and Indian food. Definitely worth rereading.
