在线阅读本书 Jhumpa Lahiri's debut story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, took the literary world by storm when it won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. Fans who flocked to her stories will be captivated by her best-selling first novel, now in paperback for the first time. The Namesake is a finely wrought, deeply moving family drama that illuminates this acclaimed author's signature themes: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the tangled ties between generations. The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of an arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Ashoke does his best to adapt while his wife pines for home. When their son, Gogol, is born, the task of naming him betrays their hope of respecting old ways in a new world. And we watch as Gogol stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With empathy and penetrating insight, Lahiri explores the expectations bestowed on us by our parents and the means by which we come to define who we are.

作者以一个渐渐成熟却仍满怀一颗童心的女人的眼光展现移民生活中平凡而不平淡的味道。尽管故事是零碎的，却耐人寻味。书中没有出国人员大悲大喜的人生际遇，有的只是日常生活中的见闻，作者用笔记体把它们编织给读者。这些真实的感受对于站在另一扇门里的人们仅仅是启示,而不是号召。

《不会游泳的鱼》的故事是从一张豆腐干大的广告开始的。这张租房启事把这家人引到这个公寓。它贴在某个墙壁上绽裂着，一家四口仰着头，他们看懂的也就是那个低廉的价格。不幸，这个美国故事就趁着这一家人哑着半启的口的空隙开始了。像许多新移民一样，董家先找个最便宜的区域落脚，从那里起步，开始新大陆的突围。所以他们找到了这里。六十多岁的房东老头坐在公寓门口晒太阳。一份报纸、一瓶啤酒，在太阳下一躺几个小时。老头一看这四口之家的疲惫与兴奋并存的表情，就知道又是一家子的外国人来美安营扎寨，并准备子子孙孙地繁衍下去，突然觉得扫兴，一天的好兴致就这样没了。房东两只混沛的眼球好好地打量了他们，表示他对他们没好感，也不需要他们去喜欢他。他有点痛心和忧心仲仲地问：“你们跑到这个王八蛋才呆的国家干什么？！”

吴川这个角色身上集中了很多微妙的东西。她有着香港人的冷漠与自私，当她在芝加哥遇到“我”——她同母异父的姐姐时，一方面她舍不得抛弃亲情给她带来的归 属感，另一方面，她又不愿意丧失个人的自由而重新被长辈管束。面对母亲的偏心和“我”的不幸，她只感到嫌恶，“你父亲母亲欠你，我又不欠你的”是她真实的 想法。她只在乎她的“酷”与高贵的身份，对老土的“我”常常不屑一顾，；当“我”道德说教干涉了她的自由，她更是深恶痛绝。冲突的焦点是“我”干涉了她的 感情生活，两姐妹从此走向决裂。但最让人意想不到的是，当“我”被人欺辱而无处伸冤的时候，吴川居然采用了激烈的方式施行报复，为姐姐出气。这个贴着“自 私任性、无所顾忌”的标签的后现代青年，骨子里却有着最传统的亲情意识、家庭意识。

扶桑，一个19世纪60年代的中国女子；克里斯，一个同时代的白人少年。他们在美国的圣弗朗西斯科相遇相识，发生了恋情。因为扶桑是个20岁的中国妓女，而克里斯是个家境殷实的白人少年，这爱情不仅凄迷，而且成了命运的挑战。性格即命运，因为扶桑怪异的性格，也使得她在大起大落的命运波折中挣扎起来。从被卖为妓女，到被人轮奸，到与自己的丈夫失之交臂，这一切仿佛都无法在扶桑的内心印上烙印。她从从容容地听从本能的体认，以三寸金莲走过一个又一个灾难。

Before his 12th birthday, Philip Jia Guo had already lived in six cities spanning three continents, learned three distinctively different languages, and attended seven schools that had almost nothing in common with one another. On the Move traces his global journey to places as drastically dissimilar as his birthplace in South China, a quaint town in Switzerland, the American Deep South, both the poorest and wealthiest neighborhoods of New York City, and an affluent suburb in Southern California. He poignantly describes his struggles to fit in as a perpetual outsider and his feelings of being constantly forced by circumstances beyond his control to adapt to new environments, schools, languages, and cultures. On the Move interweaves candid narratives of this immigrant boy's unique childhood experiences with critical observations of such hotly contested social issues as race, ethnicity, class, religion, child development, peer group relations, immigration, assimilation, and national identity. This book appeals to anybody who is interested in learning more about the experience of being an immigrant and especially its impact on young children.

“Long before I met him, I was a fan of his writing, and his merciless wit. He’s bigger than food.”—Anthony Bourdain NATIONAL BESTSELLER Eddie Huang is the thirty-year-old proprietor of Baohaus—the hot East Village hangout where foodies, stoners, and students come to stuff their faces with delicious Taiwanese street food late into the night—and one of the food world’s brightest and most controversial young stars. But before he created the perfect home for himself in a small patch of downtown New York, Eddie wandered the American wilderness looking for a place to call his own. Eddie grew up in theme-park America, on a could-be-anywhere cul-de-sac in suburban Orlando, raised by a wild family of FOB (“fresh off the boat”) hustlers and hysterics from Taiwan. While his father improbably launched a series of successful seafood and steak restaurants, Eddie burned his way through American culture, defying every “model minority” stereotype along the way. He obsessed over football, fought the all-American boys who called him a chink, partied like a gremlin, sold drugs with his crew, and idolized Tupac. His anchor through it all was food—from making Southern ribs with the Haitian cooks in his dad’s restaurant to preparing traditional meals in his mother’s kitchen to haunting the midnight markets of Taipei when he was shipped off to the homeland. After misadventures as an unlikely lawyer, street fashion renegade, and stand-up comic, Eddie finally threw everything he loved—past and present, family and food—into his own restaurant, bringing together a legacy stretching back to China and the shards of global culture he’d melded into his own identity. Funny, raw, and moving, and told in an irrepressibly alive and original voice, Fresh Off the Boat recasts the immigrant’s story for the twenty-first century. It’s a story of food, family, and the forging of a new notion of what it means to be American. Praise for Fresh Off the Boat “Brash and funny . . . outrageous, courageous, moving, ironic and true.” — New York Times Book Review “Bawdy and frequently hilarious . . . a surprisingly sophisticated memoir about race and assimilation in America . . . as much James Baldwin and Jay-Z as Amy Tan . . . rowdy [and] vital . . . It’s a book about fitting in by not fitting in at all.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times “Uproariously funny . . . emotionally honest.” — Chicago Tribune “Huang is a fearless raconteur. [His] writing is at once hilarious and provocative; his incisive wit pulls through like a perfect plate of dan dan noodles.” — Interview “Although writing a memoir is an audacious act for a thirty-year-old, it is not nearly as audacious as some of the things Huang did and survived even earlier. . . . Whatever he ends up doing, you can be sure it won’t look or sound like anything that’s come before. A single, kinetic passage from Fresh Off the Boat . . . is all you need to get that straight.” —Bookforum
