A Champion's Cause A Feminist Study of Nayantara Sahgal's Fictionwith Special Reference to Her Last Three Novels. Dr. Asha Choubey
http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/india/literature/choubey2.html

Extractions: This paper was presented at the National Seminar on "Quest for Identity and Female Self-Assertiveness organised by Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Kanpur on13-14 November 1999. As a writer with feminist concerns, Nayantara Sahgal is a progeny of the tradition wherein power itself is deified as goddess "Sakti" a female symbol. Her novels seek to posit the independent existence of women and atrophy all attempts to preclude them from the centre-stage of human existence. The attempts to attenuate women-power have been condemned by a number of writers in recent Indian English fiction, but weapons do differ. Sahgal's approach towards the issue is holistic and focuses mainly on the question of identity-crisis for women. She believes: Through the rewriting women do, new Sitas and Savitris will arise, stripped of false sanctity and crowned with the human virtue of courage. Then at last we will know why they did what they did, and how their lone, remote struggles can help our search for identity and emancipation. (Sahgal 1997:33) Her novels from A Time to be Happy to Mistaken Identity show her deep concern with the parlous state of women in the parochial society. Her women from her prototype Maya to the mother figure ranee in

Advertise with Us 20 questions interview by Gaiutra Bahadur In her debut short story collection, Interpreter of Maladies The New Yorker last year, and the title story was selected for the O. Henry and Best American Short Stories collections. Lahiri, 32, spoke from her home on the fringes of the East Village and Gramercy Park in Manhattan. You were born in London and raised in Rhode Island, and your parents are from Calcutta. Yet your stories are not preoccupied with issues of identity. Does identity interest you as a writer, or is it a cumbersome expectation to be "multicultural"? Two of your stories that are set in India, "A Real Durwan" and "The Treatment of Bibi Haldar," are not portraits of upper-middle-class life, but of servants and marginal figures. Why did you make that choice? Which story was the most difficult to write and why? Does being a second-generation American play a role in your aspiring to be a writer? Jhumpa Lahiri will read on Thu., Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m. at Borders, 1727 Walnut St., 215-568-7400. Back to the Features directory page

http://www.topwritecorner.com/reviews/review14.htm

Extractions: No clearer proof need be evidenced for the revival of the short story than the award of the Pulitzer Prize to Jhumpa Lahiri for her collection of nine short stories, three set in Calcutta and six set in Boston on the Eastern seaboard of the USA. The moral in that award being that the short story is alive and well, and that even in this modern age of flickering screens, the oldest medium excels in depicting the human saga. The turn of the century was the ideal time for such a message. Modern life with its manifestations of instant culture in sync with the instant presentations of foods, beverages and even entertainment finds short fiction, along with music and art, as the essential counterpoise to its jagged and hazardous trajectories. If we have to overcome the trauma of reading everyday news with its haunting killings, be it by soldiers in battlefields, or by urban guerillas or the mindless destruction by terrorists or even the caprices of American schoolboys with hand guns, if we have to overcome the horrors reported almost daily of gang rape or bobbitisation, here is the supreme antidote to the emotional perils of life. The delightfully low tech printed short story, in magazines or anthologies with just the reader and a dozen pages forming the ultimate anodyne for today's civilization. With Jhumpa Lahiri we see the final touches in the building of a new niche created by a literature revolving around the Indian immigrant in America. It appears much like literature around the Jewish community in America as exemplified by the writings of Bernard Malamud many years ago. It is estimated that there is a contingent of over 15 million South Asians in the North Americas and that forms a very large market indeed quite apart from the large numbers of English speakers in South Asia itself. This market was bound to create a product for itself.

Extractions: Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of nine stories, has swept through the US continent winning several admirers and awards, finally arriving at the shores of the prestigious 2000 Pulitzer award. Her stories have been featured in the New Yorker and reviewed by most renowned book critics. Devina : Heena : Lahiri's stories weave us into the lives of second generation Indians and their struggles with relationships, interpersonal communication, and challenges experienced by immigrants living in a world away from the familiar warmth and constant company of family, friends and neighbors in the homes they left behind. However, the characters all come to the US in search of freedom and opportunity and in the story "When Mr.Pirzada Came to Dine," the narrator captures that sentiment when she says that her mother knew she was "assured a safe life, and easy life, a fine education, every opportunity" in the States.

Extractions: Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies , a collection of nine stories, marks the debut of a remarkable Indian-American writer. A grand debut it is! Her title story has been selected for both the O'Henry award and the annual Best American Short Stories. Topping this, the book, last month, won her the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, 2000. Born in London of Indian parents and raised in Rhode Island, Jhumpa Lahiri studied at Boston University, receiving a Ph. D. in English. The stories in her first book focus on the intercultural miscommunications and conflicts all too often experienced by Indian immigrants and second generation Indian-Americans. "Interpreter of Maladies," at 27 pages the longest in the collection, is a multi-layered story about a second-generation Indian-American couple, who along with their three children are visiting India and hire a tour-guide to see the famous Sun Temple at Konarak. Their guide, Mr. Kapasi (we never learn his first name), becomes curious about the couple who look Indian, yet dress like American tourists and speak with an American accent he had heard many times on American TV shows. The opening sentences describe the bickering that symptomizes this failing marriage. Mr. Kapasi works as a tour guide only on weekends, and has another job during the weekdays as an interpreter in a doctor's office translating the Gujarati spoken by some of his patients. Mina Das, the wife proclaims his job as an interpreter of maladies as "romantic."

Extractions: Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies floats between India and the United States. In her stories about immigrants, Lahiri deftly examines the reactions to changes in cultures, the ties that keep people linked to their homelands, and the family ties that pull us in what sometimes seem to be opposite directions. Lahiri shows great skill in her explorations of human relations, and the powerful effect that our heritage can have on us. And really, that's what Lahiri's stories are all about, relationships between parent and child, lovers, siblings, young and old, American and immigrant, husband and wife, and even simply between residents of the same building.

Extractions: Exiles of the World Unite: Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies By Kenneth Champeon Jhumpa Lahiri's Pulitzer Prize-winning short-story collection Interpreter of Maladies is a fictional manifesto for everyone estranged, either physically or spiritually, from their homelands. While it focuses on the experience of Indian immigrants to America, and their difficulties adjusting to its sterility and anomie, much of it rings true to anyone whose life has been spent on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. For everything that is gained in the new world, something is inevitably lost from the old. Of the nine stories that comprise the collection, four are dedicated to this straddling of worlds - "When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine", "Interpreter of Maladies", "Mrs. Sen's", and "The Third and Final Continent." The others concern Indians in India, or Indians whose estrangement from the mother country is not a chief concern. The stories set in India effectively transplant the reader into a gritty, strife-filled world many lack the courage to visit, but the four transcontinental stories are more likely to resonate with transcontinental readers. One of these, "Mrs. Sen's", yet another harrowing fable representing the American Dream as nightmare, very nearly says it all.

Interpreter of Maladies A book By jhumpa lahiri Reviewed by Subhajit Ghosh.Well, everyone knows that jhumpa won Pulitzer prize for this work of hers.
http://www.indianest.com/bookreviews/008.htm

Extractions: Is Jhumpa merely a story-teller? Or is she, as the title suggests, an interpreter of maladies afflicting modern society? Each of the stories deal with characters caught in the vortex of life, at times finding happiness by surmounting their problems ( A Temporary Matter) or by a stroke of luck ( The Treatment of Bibi Halder ). At other times, more hardship and despair stares at their face in the end ( A Real Durwan) or their fantasies gets shattered ( Interpreter of Maladies). Some of the stories, I felt, left the readers with a few questions unanswered. For example, in the story 'Mrs. Sen' I couldn't figure out at the end why there existed a gulf between Mr. and Mrs. Sen? Is it the lack of offspring in their lives? Or was I really missing something? Also in the story 'The Blessed House,' how come so much of treasure have been left behind by the previous owners? Jhumpa doesn't attempt to unravel the mystery behind this treasure stored in the Blessed House, but only inform her readers that this discovery leads to the relationship between the newly-wedded couples getting strained.
