I'm generally not a huge fan of collected stories. I'm always disappointed by their length---I'm too greedy a reader and always want more. For Jhumpa Lahiri's collection, which I read more than a decade after it was first published and won the Pulitzer prize in 2000, I'll make an exception. What a talent this YOUNG writer has. She was less than 40 years old when this came out. My favorites were: The Third and Final Continent, in which an Indian man moves to America in 1969 to work at the MIT library. He boards with a woman, who, unbeknownst to him, is 103 years old and senile. The story of their relationship and those of his new arranged-marriage bride were utterly endearing. I suppose that living abroad has made the ex-pat stories in this collection especially compelling for me. When Mr. Pirzada Comes to Dine is the sweet tale of a newly exiled man from Dacca, also working at an American university, who comes to the child narrator's house for dinner each evening, bearing sweets for her as he discusses the fate of his wife and children back in his homeland during the Pakistan civil war of 1971 with her parents. Another story, Mrs. Sen's, involves 11-year old Eliot's afternoons spent with his babysitter Mrs. Sen, the wife of an Indian college professor teaching in America. It underlines, like the others, the loneliness of a new exile and his or her adaptation to a new country and the surprising or not surprising people who make connections with them.
