Interpreter of Maladies | Jhumpa Lahiri
post image
Pickpick

Interpreter of Maladies, by Jhumpa Lahiri (1999)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Pulitzer-Prize-winning collection of stories about South Asian lives, particularly in the diaspora in the United States.

Review: A quarter-century after its publication, not only does this hold up, but it actually feels fresh and interesting — a lot fresher than her more recent work, which hasn‘t worked for me

Bookish Pair: Peacocks of Instagram, by Deepa Rajagopalan (2024)

MaGoose Agreed. I greatly enjoyed this book more than her other work. I've already read this book twice and will probably buy and read it again. now
Mattsbookaday @MaGoose Yeah the person who recommended it to me lists it as his favourite all time book that he‘s re-read three times and I can understand why! now

Unexpected Stories | Octavia E. Butler

A short listen from the queen of Futurism.
It was a bit unbalanced the first story being more than twice as long and in depth then the second. But this is a fantastic book for someone who needs an introduction to OEB both stories are unrelated but have the same themes and ideas as her series.

I‘ve read this twice before and I still love this book of short stories, essays, and recipes. It‘s just very soothing at such a busy time of year.
