Mukherjee’s novels explore the lives and culture clashes of immigrants from many lands. Her short story collection “The Middleman And Other Stories” won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.In a 1993 Boston Globe interview, Mukherjee said, “While I have changed in my 30 years in this country, it has also had to change because of the hundreds of thousands of people like me, forcing the culture, moment by moment, into something new. I am looking for that new, constantly evolving thing.”
