Title: such a letdown
Product review: I loved Interpreter of Maladies but this book was just terrible. It really isn't a novel; it's an incredibly overgrown short story. An incredibly overgrown BAD short story.It features a boring main character,a handful of underdeveloped supporting characters and a really mindnumbing narrative style.It was such a dissapointment that it makes me wonder whether "Interpreter" wasn't overrated. Maybe the colorful window-dressing of "Indian immigrant experience in America" was enough to hide the sad fact that Lahiri's writing is actually both pedestrian and shallow.
