Abstract
A graceful collision of American literature and Indian heritage, Interpreter of Maladies exceeds the singular effect of either culture to reach deep and wide into the human experience, instead focusing on the culture differences across generations. By expanding her stories to encompass the questions of age and wisdom "and their relationship to each other" Lahiri connects Interpreter of Maladies to every reader who has ever been young or old. By focusing so closely on the ideas of childhood and maturity and following her characters as they move forward into adulthood or fall back to immaturity, Jhumpa Lahiri creates a remarkable examination of what it means to be human.
