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.

读后感

兰波的一句“生活在别处”，不知唤起了多少向往自由和激情的人为之奋斗。在这里，人追求的似乎是变化、彷徨、痛苦、狂喜，需要的是考验生命底线的勇气和打破事态平衡的决绝。于是，这句话被写在了巴黎大学的墙上，出现在昆德拉的书上，铭刻在想要探究生命真相的欲望之心中。 没...  

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...

在读。 第一个故事的时候，想，这什么鬼，看不懂莫名其妙。 第二个故事的时候可以读下去，有点儿自己的感触，依然不懂最后作者要表达的。 第三个故事，有点儿明白作者的确很棒，翻译也并没有一开始以为的那么烂，依然懵懂。 第四个故事，依然看不...
