Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
4.5
One of the best short story collections I have ever read. Beautifully written, with poignant themes and very real characters. I don’t normally go for short stories, but I am so grateful my professor assigned us this. I’ll remember some of these tales for a long time.

A good and quick read, if possibly a bit bland. I don’t remember much of it, although I did bang through it quickly so I know it was at least compelling. I enjoyed the fleshing out of certain characters.
