Interpreter of Maladies
Each short story here is a brief snapshot of persons I’ve known back home, of persons I now know having moved out west, and persons I’m likely to know going forward. They’re fleshed out, relatable, and deftly written. I really liked Mrs. Sen’s, it reminded me of my own parents and the desolation they felt uprooting their lives and starting their lives in Dubai. It’s not a voice I’ve found written much about.
