interpreter of maladies by lahiri

[sczarj]

i don't know if this is in any way related to Objectivism and Ayn Rand, but here's a good book i'd want to share: Interpreter of Maladies" by Lahiri. (that's her family name, can't quite remember the first name)

she has this talent in making something mundane, not quite mundane. her style gives the effect of an emphasized reality set heavily in monochrome. that somehow, the characters come to life and becomes significant in their own way, only if it is just to themselves and not to the world in general. her writing breathes a hopeful resignation and a faint contentment of an ordinary life. it felt like like listening to the end credits of the movie 'finding neverland.
