内容简介
Carried Away is a dazzling selection of stories–seventeen favorites chosen by the author from across her distinguished career.
Alice Munro has been repeatedly hailed as one of our greatest living writers, a reputation that has been growing for years. The stories brought together here span a quarter century, drawn from some of her earliest books, The Beggar Maid and The Moons of Jupiter, through her recent best-selling collection, Runaway.
Here are such favorites as “Royal Beatings” in which a young girl, her father, and stepmother release the tension of their circumstances in a ritual of punishment and reconciliation; “Friend of My Youth” in which a woman comes to understand that her difficult mother is not so very different from herself; and “The Love of a Good Woman,” in which, when an old crime resurfaces, a woman has to choose whether to believe in the man she intends to marry.
Munro’s incomparable empathy for her characters, the depth of her understanding of human nature, and the grace and surprise of her narrative add up to a richly layered and capacious fiction. Like the World War I soldier in the title story, whose letters from the front to a small-town librarian he doesn’t know change her life forever, Munro’s unassuming characters insinuate themselves in our hearts and take permanent hold.

精彩书评
“Munro stands as one of the living colossi of the modern short story, and her Chekhovian realism, her keen psychological insight, her instinctive feel for the emotional arithmetic of domestic life have indelibly stamped contemporary writing.”
—NEW YORK TIMES
“In Alice Munro’s hands, the smallest moments contain the central truths of a lifetime.”
—MACLEAN’S
“Alice Munro has a strong claim to being the best fiction writer now working in North America.”
—NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
“Captivating . . . Munro does what most writers dream of doing and succeeds at it, page after page, story after story, collection after collection.”
—THE OREGONIAN
“From a markedly finite number of essential components, Munro rather miraculously spins out countless permutations of desire and despair, attenuated hopes and cloudbursts of epiphany . . . Every one of these women is different, and that is the wonder of Alice Munro.”
—THE VILLAGE VOICE
“Alice Munro is among the major writers of English fiction of our time . . . In Munro’s work, grace abounds, but it is strangely disguised: nothing can be predicted. Emotions erupt. Preconceptions crumble. Surprises proliferate. Astonishments leap out. Malicious acts can have positive consequences. Salvation arrives when least expected, and in peculiar forms.”
—from the Introduction by Margaret Atwood

细腻优雅、不施铅华的文字和简洁精致、宽广厚重的情节,常常给人“于无声处听惊雷”的莫大震撼。1968年,《快乐影子之舞》初试啼声,一举斩获加拿大总督文学奖。此后,《我青年时期的朋友》、《你以为你是谁?》、《爱的进程》、《公开的秘密》、《一个善良女子的爱》、《石城远望》等十多部作品纷纷将总督奖、吉勒奖、英联邦作家奖、莱南文学奖、欧·亨利奖以及全美书评人协会奖等收入囊中。作品被翻译成13种文字传遍全球,受到读者与媒体的高度评价,被誉为 “当代最伟大的短篇小说家”。2009年5月,由于作品一贯的极高水准和在全球的巨大影响,毫无争议地荣获第3届布克国际文学奖。作为代表作,影响巨大的《逃离》2004年隆重出版,立刻引起如潮好评,迅速夺得当年加拿大吉勒文学奖,并入选《纽约时报》年度图书。
