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.
咸鱼看了快两个月才看完了orz..... 但是还是得说这种短篇小说集真的可以说很合胃口了2333 记得看第一篇的那个晚上我正好在玩杀机的奥德蒙那个地图 满地图的白雪让人想到蒙大拿州的雪 寒冷的农场 那种让人觉得 无欲无求的生活状态 寒冷而孤立 不得不说作者选了个很好的故事发生地 人物场景都不复杂 可是情绪描写的恰到好处 那种失去了遗憾但又明知道做不了什么的心情。看到最后还是第一篇印象最深 但也算是开启了英文短篇小说集阅读的大门了 刷完一本 欢乐奔向那不勒斯四部曲2333333
评分读完整本,我不禁开始怀疑对开篇的喜欢是不是因为经过了影像的熏陶?显然电影对<Travis, B.>的改编拿捏得非常棒,无论是整体悄无声息的风格,空旷平凡中涌动的情绪,故事的简单与内心的波澜反差,以及女主衣着、吃饭模样的细节刻画,都做到了影像与文本同样出色(也许正是文本的简练给了影像发挥的空间),当然了把男孩子换成女孩子更是电影的神来之笔。不过越往后读惊喜越少,第二和第三篇还算挺喜欢,再后面出轨主题重复的有点多,有几篇场景集中在室内对话显得短而狭窄。感觉下来确实她的书还是比较适合影像化的。
评分非常精彩的短篇小说集,最喜欢的是Liliana
评分迷人。
评分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.
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...
