逃离,或许是旧的结束。或许是新的开始。
或许只是一些微不足道的瞬间,就像看戏路上放松的脚步,就像午后窗边怅然的向往。
内容简介
The matchless Munro makes art out of everyday lives in this exquisite collection. Here are men and women of wildly different times and circumstances, their lives made vividly palpable by the nuance and empathy of Munro's writing. Runaway is about the power and betrayals of love, about lost children, lost chances. There is pain and desolation beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart, which makes these stories more powerful and compelling than anything she has written before. It is the winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009.
逃离,或许是旧的结束。或许是新的开始。或许只是一些微不足道的瞬间,就像看戏路上放松的脚步,就像午后窗边怅然的向往。
卡拉,十八岁从父母家出走,如今又打算逃脱丈夫和婚姻; 朱丽叶,放弃学术生涯,毅然投奔在火车上偶遇的乡间男子;佩内洛普,从小与母亲相依为命,某一天忽然消失得再无踪影;格雷斯,已然谈婚论嫁,却在一念之间与未婚夫的哥哥出逃了一个下午……
一次次逃离的闪念,就是这样无法预知,无从招架,或许你早已被它们悄然逆转,或许你早已将它们轻轻遗忘。

精彩书评
"Runaway is so good I don't want to talk about it. Quotation can't do the book justice, and neither can synopsis. The way to do it justice is to read it. Read Munro! Read Munro!"
-- Jonathan Franzen New York Times Book Review
"Millions of words have been spilt in attempts to tell us exactly what it means to be human. In Runaway, Munro performs that very miracle" --The Times
"These stories are breathtaking - they leave you winded with their toughness and brilliance"
-- Helen Simpson Guardian
"A beautiful, echoing collection, and a demonstration of perfected and unflinching form"
-- Ali Smith Scotsman
"It is almost impossible to describe their unforced exactness, their unrushed economy... Munro has a genius for evoking the particular and peculiar atmosphere of relationships, their unspoken pressures and expectations"
-- Alan Hollinghurst Guardian
