In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New Yorker,a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of a stillbornbirth while their Boston neighborhood copes with a nightlyblackout. In the title story, an interpreter guides an Americanfamily through the India of their ancestors and hears anastonishing confession. Lahiri writes with deft cultural insightreminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls MavisGallant. She is an important and powerful new voice.
