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.
這可能是我讀過的活著的文筆最好的英文作者。小時候覺得文筆好就是詞匯量大,會用四個字和筆畫多的詞,現在覺得文筆好是會用最簡單的詞寫齣最準確的意思,就是象Munro這樣三言兩語叫你進入一個情景之中仿佛已經這樣活瞭一輩子,對一個不相乾人莫名其妙的心思也能突然體會。她的短篇讀來有長篇的分量正因那些看似柔順的詞語有不可思議的速度帶人進入故事深處。

評分Brilliant.
評分Fließend und gewaltig.
評分讀瞭前兩個故事叨叨叨得快瘋掉,也有可能是我太粗糙體會不到其中的好。
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...
評分昨天刚入手看了不到半本,不可置疑的这是一本好书,就是翻译的太生硬了,甚至有些可以猜的出原文。 感觉买原版用Google翻译一下效果也差不多。 也没找着其他的版本,买书时的那种兴奋感全无,只能凑合着看了。
評分我从未看过艾丽丝·门罗早期的作品,因而也不能判断,她在满头白发时写下的《亲爱的生活》中嵌缀的老到见解究竟是天性使然还是岁月的沉淀。 我将《亲爱的生活》看了三遍,完整、不变化地历经了三次专注力的疲劳与原始动容的侵袭,而我依然不变地为之着迷——门罗的语言。 只...
評分前几天把门罗《亲爱的生活》又从头到尾认认真真读了一遍。 通勤的时间,实在也不好做什么,就闭着眼睛把小说的内容又回忆了一下,很多时候,她呈现的是一种悬浮在那里的生活处境,她呈现出问题,但并不给出解答。因生活本身大概就是这样一种无解的状态吧。 《漂流到日本》写一...
