Alice Munro: Selected Stories Alice Munro: Selected Stories

Spanning almost thirty years and settings that range from big cities to small towns and farmsteads of rural Canada, this magnificent collection brings together twenty-eight stories by a writer of unparalleled wit, generosity, and emotional power. In her Selected Stories, Alice Munro makes lives that seem small unfold until they are revealed to be as spacious as prairies and locates the moments of love and betrayal, desire and forgiveness, that change those lives forever. To read these stories--about a traveling salesman and his children on an impromptu journey; an abandoned woman choosing between seduction and solitude--is to succumb to the spell of a writer who enchants her readers utterly even as she restores them to their truest selves.

Alice Munro: Selected Stories

Első Alice Munro novelláim. Alapvetően nem szeretek novellákat olvasni, nem az én műfajom, de nyilván ha valaki ilyen szintű történeteket rak elém, élvezni fogom.
Egyben olvastam el mind a 400 oldalnyi novellát, így egyszerre talán sok volt, úgyhogy nem ajánlom senkinek. Érdemes inkább néha egyet elolvasni, elgondolkodni rajta, aztán később visszatérni a könyvhöz.
(Azt hiszem a Beggar Maid volt a kedvencem.)

-When are you happy?
– When he's pleased with me. When he's joking and enjoying himself. No. No. I'm never happy. What I am is relieved, it's as if I'd overcome a challenge, it's more triumphant than happy. But he can always pull the rug out.
– So, why are you with somebody who can always pull the rug out?
– Isn't there always somebody?
