"One of the great short story writers not just of our time but of any time." --The New York Times Book Review
"Wise and unforgettable. Dear Life is a wondrous gift; a reminder of why Munro's work endures." --The Boston Globe "Unquestionable evidence of her unfaded abilities. . . . Reading these stories will tell you something about Alice Munro's life, but it will tell you more about Alice Munro's mind--and, not entirely surprisingly, this proves to be even more compelling." --The New Republic"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reprint. WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2013A New York Times Notable BookA Washington Post Notable Work of FictionA Best Book of the Year: The Atlantic, NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, Vogue, AV ClubIn story after story in this brilliant new collection, Alice Munro pinpoints the moment a person is forever altered by a chance encounter, an action not taken, or a simple twist of fate. Her characters are flawed and fully human: a soldier returning from war and avoiding his fiancée, a wealthy woman deciding whether to confront a blackmailer, an adulterous mother and her neglected children, a guilt-ridden father, a young teacher jilted by her employer. Illumined by Munros unflinching insight, these lives draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns. And while most are set in her signature territory around Lake Huron, some strike even closer to home: an astonishing suite of four autobiographical tales offers an unprecedented glimpse into Munros own childhood. Exalted by her clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, Dear Life shows how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be. Seller Inventory # DADAX0307743721
