Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Meloy’s first return to short stories since her critically acclaimed debut, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It is an extraordinary new work from one of the most promising writers of the last decade.
Eleven unforgettable new stories demonstrate the emotional power and the clean, assured style that have earned Meloy praise from critics and devotion from readers. Propelled by a terrific instinct for storytelling, and concerned with the convolutions of modern love and the importance of place, this collection is about the battlefields—and fields of victory—that exist in seemingly harmless spaces, in kitchens and living rooms and cars. Set mostly in the American West, the stories feature small-town lawyers, ranchers, doctors, parents, and children, and explore the moral quandaries of love, family, and friendship. A ranch hand falls for a recent law school graduate who appears unexpectedly— and reluctantly—in his remote Montana town. A young father opens his door to find his dead grandmother standing on the front step. Two women weigh love and betrayal during an early snow. Throughout the book, Meloy examines the tensions between having and wanting, as her characters try to keep hold of opposing forces in their lives: innocence and experience, risk and stability, fidelity and desire.
Knowing, sly, and bittersweet, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It confirms Maile Meloy’s singular literary talent. Her lean, controlled prose, full of insight and unexpected poignancy, is the perfect complement to her powerfully moving storytelling.
With the succinct stories that have become her signature, Maile Meloy has graced literary publications from The New Yorker to The Paris Review and Best New American Voices. Her first published story collection, Half in Love, promises to bring Meloy's acclaimed vignettes to an even wider audience.
The first story alone makes this a masterpiece. The first time I read about Montana in a literary work and it is absolutely soul crashing.
评分Her writings are pretty subtle, and the flow of the narrative goes well. I’m not sure if it’s autobiographical since she is from Montana. But she definitely captures the transitions which caused by mobility, or displacement. Very impressionist. Anyone who identifies with a small town person may like it since all the settings are about it.
评分I just cannot bring myself to give a shit about the characters... no connection whatsoever... 好像能感受到作者想走的文风方向,但最后结果文笔过于平淡。听的有声书,narrator们非常好,算是个亮点

作者笔下的人观察力敏锐。可必须要交谈的时候,他们像是潜水钟,无法准确地,或者因为这样那样的顾虑,无法完全地表达出自己的看法。是懦弱呀,喉咙紧着,心跳快了,说着别的话搪塞过去了,心里不断不断地自责着。 Meloy 的描写往往避开人物本身:她写他们眼里看到的景与物。而...
评分书名叫两全其美,但其实真正的生活里,哪有两全其美的机会呢,更常见的应该是两手皆空、鸡飞蛋打吧。 贝丝特维斯:单相思。一场从开始几乎注定是失败的爱恋,哪有两全其美,只有求之不得的刻骨铭心。 青涩的成熟:情窦初开。说实话第二个故事有点困惑,感觉是个诱奸幼女?爸爸...
评分平日喜欢看电影,我超爱凯莉·雷查德,特别是《米克的近路》,那是一部反类型的杰作:传统西部片中由男性主导的暴力性景观,转化为女性的沉默、忍耐和长途跋涉……雷查德拒绝了戏剧性,拒绝观众的眼光,转而向生活本身的真实性靠拢,以剧中女性的视角,塑成一个更为完整的世界...
评分花了两天的时间读完了《两全其美》,最开始被这本书吸引的是它的英文名,Both ways is the only way I want it,当时想着,为什么把这句话翻译为两全其美呢,于是抱着这种疑惑与好奇翻完了这11个小故事。 11个小故事,关于心动,关于悸动,关于选择,关于拥有与失去。每一个短...
评分其实说起来我本人看这本书的时间还是蛮早的,因为高中时与一个文青范儿的朋友 了和他保持共同的话题,所以读了大量这样的文学作品,而我当时读的第一本就是这本书,也算是开启了一个新世界的大门 ,非常精彩 ,非常好, 很多人的阅读水平适合读这些的文字情节,欣赏水平特别达...
