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 audiobook 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.
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。

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...
