Title: Where's the plot?
Review: First off, let me say that Jhumpa Lahiri's "Interpreter of Maladies" was an incredible book, and one of my favorites. That collection of short stories is a five star effort. Lahiri is a master of the short story. I wish I could say that she is a master of the novel as well, but alas, "The Namesake" proves that she's human like the rest of us and couldn't get it right on the first try. The Namesake has beautiful prose and description, but lacks characters you can connect to and a plot. I think it's also lacking a subplot, which in reality would make this book a 300 page short story.If you want to experience the best Lahiri has to offer, forget this one and go get "Interpreter of Maladies".
