Book Description: Jhumpa Lahiri continues to probe culture and generational clashes among Bengali brethren living in the U.S. in her penetrating second collection, Unaccustomed Earth (ISBN 0307265730/ 9780307265739). Lahiri's gift to the reader is gorgeous prose that bestows greatness on life's mundane events and activities. But it is her exploration of lost love and lost loved ones that give her stories an emotional exactitude few writers could ever hope to match. Lahiri ingeniously reworks the situation of characters subsisting at point zero, of being stripped down like Lear on the heath. Unaccustomed Earth certainly makes a contribution to the literature of immigration, but it also takes its rightful place with modernist tales from whatever culture in which characters find them doomed to try and fail to only connect.
