My lecturer mentioned about this author in Literary Theory class. Sandra is flying to Delhi so Lahiri's were among mentioned my tiny wish list. Didn't bother to read it until one day, in class, the lecturer wanted us to discuss A Temporary Matter, the very first short story in the book. I had to share mine with two others, of course it was not a really focused reading because we were not even told to buy a copy. We discussed on it the next week but I paid little attention to it. It came out in the Quiz but it was easy. I did read Interpreter of Maladies, however, did not analyse it in depth. That was it.
Last week I decided to read a story. After reading Sexy, I was dumb founded. I was struck by her mildness but it was really a big hit when the Rohin said "(sexy)It means loving someone you don't know." I felt the storm had suddenly pinned me to earth. I can feel it all over me. "Sexy" really hit me with her subtle words.
I finally (initially) decided to do Lahiri for my project paper. I have yet to narrow down my topic. Got to find The Namesake in KLCC. Till then, Lahiri keeps haunting me.
