Though perhaps less visceral and emotionally satisfying than her previous novels, “The Namesake” attests to Jhumpa Lahiri’s ability to write a best seller that moves back and forth between the comic and tragic, the satirical and the intimately personal.

Ms. Messud’s dazzling 1999 novel, “The Last Life,” showcased her abundant literary gifts: her understanding of the complexities of familial algebra and the intersection of public and private history. Though less organic and emotionally satisfying, her 2006 novel, “The Emperor’s Children,” attested to her ability to write a best seller that moved back and forth between the comic and the tragic, the satirical and the intimately personal.

Semicolons are used to separate items of a list, if the list is nested within an item of another outer list, whose items are separated by commas.
Following is an example from Manhattan SC guide:
Wrong: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire, Wow, Owls, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Right: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire; Wow, Owls; and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Another point to observe:
The back and forth movement takes place BETWEEN 3 items:
1. the comic and tragic,
2. the satirical
3. the intimately personal
It is correct to use "between" rather than "among" even when there are more than 2 items, when these items are distinct, and not referred as a group as a whole.
