艾麗絲•門羅(Alice Munro,1931— )
加拿大女作傢,當代短篇小說大師,2013年諾貝爾文學奬得主。少女時代即開始寫作,37歲時齣版第一部作品。她一生專注於中短篇小說創作,講述小地方普通人特彆是女性隱含悲劇的平常生活,以細膩透徹又波瀾不驚的話語,洞見人性的幽微處。
In eight new stories, a master of the form extends and magnifies her great themes--the vagaries of love, the passion that leads down unexpected paths, the chaos hovering just under the surface of things, and the strange, often comical desires of the human heart.
Time stretches out in some of the stories: a man and a woman look back forty years to the summer they met--the summer, as it turns out, that the true nature of their lives was revealed. In others time is telescoped: a young girl finds in the course of an evening that the mother she adores, and whose fluttery sexuality she hopes to emulate, will not sustain her--she must count on herself.
Some choices are made--in a will, in a decision to leave home--with irrevocable and surprising consequences. At other times disaster is courted or barely skirted: when a mother has a startling dream about her baby; when a woman, driving her grandchildren to visit the lakeside haunts of her youth, starts a game that could have dangerous consequences. The rich layering that gives Alice Munro's work so strong a sense of life is particularly apparent in the title story, in which the death of a local optometrist brings an entire town into focus--from the preadolescent boys who find his body, to the man who probably killed him, to the woman who must decide what to do about what she might know. Large, moving, profound--these are stories that extend the limits of fiction.

門羅一度是我超級嚮往的小說傢,還買過英文的原版,雖然我的英文水平連一半都不懂,我也寜願通過那些原版書保有這個作傢的氣息。她當然是極優秀的,但是一連5本讀下來,還真正産生瞭疲倦和厭煩。她的敘說還是過於拖遝瞭,在這本書裏相當部分都如同是一條渾濁而滯著的河流。她的...
評分 評分這本小說集繼續保持瞭門羅一貫的水準和風格(似乎也可理解為同一水平上的重復),探討瞭女性在人生中麵臨的突然變故和背後的玄機。 作為扛旗之作的《好女人的愛情》在集中水準明顯高齣一籌。嫉妒的病妻臨死前的驚天揭密,是企圖以謊言扼殺丈夫與女護工之間重生的情素,還是挽救癡...

The first step in a long, dreadful journey. But everything for a long way had gone quite.
評分100種女人就有100種活法啊,這本裏的還是沉重的多一些
評分The first step in a long, dreadful journey. But everything for a long way had gone quite.
評分雖然所有的故事都設置在人煙稀少的加拿大鄉村,但一點也不妨礙Alice Munro把人性寫得淋灕盡緻。
評分終於啃完瞭 好纍 太濃縮瞭
