A brilliant new collection of stories from one of the most acclaimed and beloved writers of our time.
Alice Munro’s peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but always spacious and timeless stories is once again everywhere apparent in this brilliant new collection. In story after story, she illumines the moment a life is forever altered by a chance encounter or an action not taken, or by a simple twist of fate that turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into a new way of being or thinking. A poet, finding herself in alien territory at her first literary party, is rescued by a seasoned newspaper columnist, and is soon hurtling across the continent, young child in tow, toward a hoped-for but completely unplanned meeting. A young soldier, returning to his fiancée from the Second World War, steps off the train before his stop and onto the farm of another woman, beginning a life on the move. A wealthy young woman having an affair with the married lawyer hired by her father to handle his estate comes up with a surprising way to deal with the blackmailer who finds them out.
While most of these stories take place in Munro’s home territory—the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron—the characters sometimes venture to the cities, and the book ends with four pieces set in the area where she grew up, and in the time of her own childhood: stories “autobiographical in feeling, though not, sometimes, entirely so in fact.” A girl who can’t sleep imagines night after wakeful night that she kills her beloved younger sister. A mother snatches up her child and runs for dear life when a crazy woman comes into her yard.
Suffused with Munro’s clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these tales about departures and beginnings, accidents and dangers, and outgoings and homecomings both imagined and real, paint a radiant, indelible portrait of how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.
Alice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario. She has published eleven previous books.During her distinguished career she has been the recipient of many awards and prizes, including the W.H. Smith Prize, the National Book Circle Critics Award, the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, the Lannan Literary Award, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, and the Rea Award for the Short Story. In Canada, she has won the Governor General's Award, the Giller Prize, the Trillium Book Award, and the Libris Award.Alice Munro and her husband divide their time between Clinton, Ontario, and Comox, British Columbia.
Brilliant.
评分While Philip Roth wrote "Old age isn't a battle, it is a massacre" in Everyman, Alice Munro sees in her twilight years the power to survive massacres of all kinds. Unlike Faulkner who regards enduring as a way out, Munro sets her protagonists fully involved in various tribulations with what might be called calmness or even cruelty under pressure.
评分好苍老+小城镇
评分For some reason I really like the design of the cover. Nicely written. But this type of books seems to require a certain travelling mood of me to enjoy well.
评分无法想出更好的标题
我一直思考乔布斯和楼下保安小哥的生命谁更有意义?要是比名气于财富,当然乔布斯胜出。但这仅仅是名利,不能说明他的生命更有意义。要说乔布斯改变的人类的生活方式,可是要是我家楼下保安决意实行宵禁,晚上十二点以后关上大门,那我就得睡在马路上。这时我可不在意兜里揣的...
评分人生的惊鸿一瞥 ——浅谈艾丽丝•门罗的《亚蒙森》 “门罗在这部优秀的作品集中向大家展示了她自己人生的惊鸿一瞥。”路易斯•多迪在评论《亲爱的生活》时写道:“门罗有一种不同寻常的本事令读者信服,相信作品里的人物在故事发生之前就有着活生生的生活,故事发生以...
评分第一次知道Alice Munro是在英语系的外教课上,记得当时读的是Runaway,之后就没有再刻意阅读过,直到前两年突然有新闻报道说那年的诺贝尔文学奖由一位来自加拿大的女作家Alice Munro折桂,才一下子记起似乎大学时读过她的作品,印象最深的是有一篇讲述一个各方面看起来都一切正...
评分读门罗的书总有一种微妙的感受,仿佛是只有女性才能体会得到,一只温热的手掌放在你的后背上带来的酥麻,比一个亲吻更让人紧张。 也许是我自己的问题,阅读台译本《亲爱的人生》时体会到的那种悸动的感觉,在这个版本中一点都找不到。 举个栗子。(中译本就是这个北京十月文艺...
评分很喜欢这本书的封面,淡淡的色彩,背对着读者的女人,爬藤的花和叶。似乎预示着,对女人而言,生活就是被无法言说的种种细腻的感受填满着。或许是淡淡的,但是缠绕牵连,不可剥离。 这也与这本书给我的感受相同。 一个个故事,展开来的,就好像是一碗五味汤。每一味,都有些许...
