In 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 Munro’s 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 Munro’s 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.

2013諾貝爾文學獎得主艾莉絲．孟若
Alice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario. She has published thirteen collections of stories as well as a novel, Lives of Girls and Women, and two volumes of Selected Stories. During her distinguished career she has been the recipient of many awards and prizes, including three of Canada’s Governor General’s Literary Awards and two of its Giller Prizes, the Rea Award for the Short Story, the Lannan Literary Award, England’s W. H. Smith Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Man Booker International Prize. In 2013 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Paris Review, Granta, and other publications, and her collections have been translated into thirteen languages. She lives in Clinton, Ontario, near Lake Huron.

《書單雜誌》：這十四篇故事當中，有些會在孟若的熟悉世界裡（安大略省的農村與小鎮）探索出新方向，其他則追隨更類似的路線，角色與情境令人憶起過去的創作。換句話說，不論讀者對孟若的作品熟悉多少，她實際上都在每篇故事裡找到辦法讓平凡人的生活引人入勝。

“One of the great short story writers not just of our time but of any time.” —The New York Times Book Review

《紐約時報》書評：這世上最偉大的短篇故事作家之一，不只是在我們的年代，而是任何時代皆然。

“There is no writer quite as good at illustrating the foibles of love, the confusions and frustrations of life or the inner cruelty and treachery that can be revealed in the slightest gestures and changes of tone. . . . The stories of Dear Life violate a host of creative writing rules, but they establish yet again Munro’s psychological acuity, clear-eyed acceptance of frailties and mastery of the short story form.” —The Washington Post

《華盛頓郵報》：沒有其他作家如此擅長描繪愛情的弱點、生命的困惑與挫折，或能透過最細微的姿勢與語調轉變透露的背叛……《親愛的人生》的故事破壞了一票創意寫作規則，卻再度建立起孟若短篇作品中的心理鋒利感、脆弱感及大師文筆。

“Alice Munro demonstrates once again why she deserves her reputation as a master of short fiction.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

《歐普拉雜誌》：艾莉絲‧孟若再次展示了她名不虛傳的短篇小說大師名聲。

《芝加哥論壇報》：無比敏銳……沒有其他作家能用如此少的字說出這麼多故事。孟若那寶石般的節制句子底下蘊藏著豐富的礦脈。
