Sinossi
A Boston, complice un blackout, una giovane coppia indiana in crisi riesce a dirsi cose a lungo taciute. In India, il signor Kapasi, «interprete» alle dipendenze di un medico, accompagna in un giro turistico una famiglia di indiani ormai americanizzati; l’interesse della donna per la strana professione di Kapasi susciterà in lui un sogno romantico che dovrà presto abbandonare. Un bengalese ricorda la giovinezza a Londra e la prima casa a Boston, e insegna al figlio che, se lui è riuscito a sopravvivere in tre continenti, non ci sono ostacoli che non possano essere superati... Attraverso nove storie di vita quotidiana, Jhumpa Lahiri ci consegna un’India variegata, assumendo ora lo sguardo di chi sta ancora affrontando l’urto della diversità, ora quello di chi dall’India, con la sua civiltà millenaria ormai aperta agli echi dell’Occidente, non se n’è mai andato.

This happened with "Interpreter of Maladies", a perfectly-titled collec Leggi tutto

That horrible glitch in the Goodreads app caused my review for this book to be deleted as I tried to update my rating. This is the fifth time this has happened to me, and i know plenty of other users who have been similarly affected. Sort it out, Goodreads.
