Title: Impatient for Lahiri's next book!
Review: I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before reading the book, because I would have known the outcome of Gogol's relationships with women. Since the book has a strict chronology with few digressions, it moves forward as life does: we don't know where it's headed and don't really want to know.Lahiri is a terrific writer, as every review attests. Her greatest talent is in drawing her characters. The reader feels like one of the gang at the endless string of parties that take place in this book. What's Gogol's email address? I want to find out how his mother's doing and wish him well.If you like Namesake, try Brick Lane by Monica Ali. It's another Bengali family saga, set in London, with political resonance. And Lahiri's short stories are gems.
