Title: easy living
Review: this book reads like a short story writer attempting to write a novel, which - in fact - it is. her prose is elegant, but it always falls short of poetic, lyrical, or even simply beautiful. instead, she relies on namedropping her good taste in a variety of things (in music, films, books, and architecture), romanticizing academia within the bengali community in the west, and very cheaply taking advantage of the recent re-interest in indian culture. if jhumpa lahiri had not been born into a bengali family, it is difficult for me to fathom that she would have very much to write about.but that's just my opinion. if you do yoga on the weekends, take pride in the fact that you can go to an indian restaurant and order "tandoori chicken" by name, and enjoy listening to ravi shankar roughly once a year, i'm sure you'll love this book.
