it’s been a little while since i read any short stories (for me, at least). this is a great collection set mostly in boston/new england or india. my favorite was the first one, “A Temporary Matter,” where a couple reveal secrets during nightly planned power outages. they are all pretty excellent though.

loved this book as well, not usually a short stories person, but I cried after almost every story of hers and then kept on reading -- my favorite was the one about the newly-married indian couple that kept finding christian momentos around their house. I thought she was so original and all over wonderful
that was one of my favorites too. i'm curious to read her novel. i've seen it in bookstores but am hoping to find it at the library soon.
I absolutely adored "Interpreter of Maladies". It first began as a lit analysis assignment, but i took away more personal value from it. It gives many life lessons and situations many can relate to; even if they are not Indian decent. Great book, I would suggest it to anyone!
