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.

“她现在逐渐看出,那个逐渐逼近的未来世界的奇特之处与可怕之处,就在于,她并不能融入期间。她只能在它周边走走,张嘴、说话,干这,干那,却不能真正进入到里面去。可是奇怪的是,她却在干着所有这样的事,乘着大巴希望能寻回自己。”

评分为了应对生活的艰难,克拉克想了一个主意:让卡拉向邻居——诗人贾米森的遗孀西尔维娅——控诉,在为诗人做护工期间,曾被诗人性骚扰。
评分书本身很好,就是不知道装箱搬书的人是干什么的?搞机修的?怎么手那么脏,黑乎乎的手指印。
