Beskrivning
Discover Alice Munro’s powerful stories about ordinary people at the moments when chance, memory or desire changes everything.Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Man Booker International Prize, Alice Munro writes stories that move with quiet force through the accidents, choices and memories that can alter a life.In Dear Life, chance meetings, family estrangements, and illicit affairs unfold across small towns, trains, houses and hospitals. Men and women look back at what they did, what they failed to understand, and what time has refused to soften. Munro’s fiction finds strangeness in ordinary domestic life.Precise, unsparing and luminous, Dear Life shows why Munro remains one of the essential writers of the modern short story.‘She is so damn good’ Anne Enright‘Deep and surprising and unsparing’ Guardian

Recensioner i media

"Deep and surprising and unsparing" -- Helen Simpson Guardian "As rich and astonishing as anything she has ever done before" New York Review of Books "In this book Munro has laid bare the foundations of her fiction as never before. Lovers of her writing must hope this is not, in fact, her finale. But if it is, it's spectacular" -- Ruth Scurr Daily Telegraph "Another dazzling collection of short stories, provincial and universal in equal measure" -- Sara Wheeler Observer "A slight sense of withholding gives Munro's prose its gracefulness, and allows intimacy without danger. After many years, many collections and many wonderful stories, readers may feel they know everything about Alice Munro, especially as so many of her characters lead lives similar to her own. In fact, we know very little about her. This is one of the reasons readers become dizzy with love for Munro. This other reason is that she is so damn good" -- Anne Enright Guardian
