Query: Pulitzer Material?

While I admit I am a short story novice, preferring novels, I have to say that I was very disappointed with Ms. Lahiri's freshman effort. The book wasn't bad, but i never felt the passion for the characters that I expected (save Mrs. Sen), and found the writing a bit simple. But a quick, decent read- and I expect great things to come from Lahiri.
