My writer girl crush is Jhumpa Lahiri, seen here reading from her latest book of short stories, UNACCUSTOMED EARTH. I just finished it this morning and it's a truly amazing work of art. In fact, it's the best collection of short stories I've read since INTERPRETER OF MALADIES, which she also wrote and that in 2000, garnered her the Pulitzer Prize.
I'm a big, big fan and one day, hope to be able to achieve at least part of what she can - flawed, true characters, rich dialogue, stories that leave a lasting impression on the reader. She creates masterpieces.
Enjoy!
A struggling writer observes and navigates the world of publishing from the inside... And every once and a while blathers on about her own writing.
