【内容紹介】At once sly and tragic, these twelve extraordinary stories chart the complex and shifting lives of the new immigrants to America--some helpless, some hopeless, others ambitious, beautiful, all striving for something they can't quite name, something more....  "Mukherjee writes with beautiful precision...neaty needlepointing a malevolent world."(THE VILLAGE VOICE)

【By William Grimes Feb. 1, 2017：Bharati Mukherjee, Writer of Immigrant Life, Dies at 76】Bharati Mukherjee, an Indian-born American writer who explored the internal culture clashes of her immigrant characters in the award-winning collection “The Middleman and Other Stories” and in novels like “Jasmine,” died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 76.  The cause was complications of rheumatoid arthritis and takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a stress-induced heart condition, her husband, the writer Clark Blaise, said.  Ms. Mukherjee, a native of Calcutta, attended schools in England, Switzerland and India, earned advanced degrees in creative writing in the United States and lived for more than a decade in Canada, affording her a wealth of experience in the modern realities of multiculturalism. “The narrative of immigration is the epic narrative of this millennium,” she wrote in an autobiographical statement for the reference work Contemporary Authors in 2005.
