Unaccustomed Earth

by Jhumpa Lahiri

Unaccustomed Earth is a collection of short stories from American author Jhumpa Lahiri. It is her second collection of stories, following Interpreter of Maladies (which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction). As with much of Lahiri's work, Unaccustomed Earth considers the lives of second and third generation Indian American characters and how they deal with their mixed cultural environment. The book was Lahiri's first to top The New York Times Best Seller list, where it debuted at #1.
