Lahiri's interview

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

• What does "Interpreter of Maladies" mean to you?
• What aspects of literary style does Lahiri mention (hint: when she described what she looked for in short stories)?
• What "story" might Lahiri be telling about Indian-American identity and experience?
• What "two worlds" is she trying to bring together and how might this affect your reading of "This Blessed House"?
