【生命的悲喜與抉擇】諾貝爾文學獎得主─艾莉絲‧孟若(Alice Munro)故事選集《A Wilderness Station》selected stories, 1968-1994
在經濟大蕭條的時代，ㄧ個銷售員父親，帶著兒子，為了尋找過去的戀人，而踏上一段未知的旅程...
窮苦人家出生的女孩，好不容易即將和富有的未婚夫步入禮堂，但她發覺到自己並沒有真正去愛...
曾被戀人拋棄的女人，在渴望被愛和享受寂寞的慾望中，不斷拉扯自己的心，最終她又會做出什麼決定...？
孟若用她細膩的筆觸，透過作家之眼，描寫生命中無數令人心碎或心動、憤怒及快樂、無奈且荒繆的片段，真實的情節和對白總讓人感到熟悉，故事裡的角色似乎就是我們認識的某個朋友，或是過去某段被遺忘的回憶，令人難以忘懷。

A New York Times Editors’ Choice Book

Spanning almost thirty years and settings that range from big cities to small towns and farmsteads of rural Canada, this magnificent collection brings together twenty-eight stories by a writer of unparalleled wit, generosity, and emotional power. In A Wilderness Station: Selected Stories, 1968–1994, Alice Munro makes lives that seem small unfold until they are revealed to be as spacious as prairies and locates the moments of love and betrayal, desire and forgiveness, that change those lives forever.
 
A traveling salesman during the Depression takes his children with him on an impromptu visit to a former girlfriend. A poor girl steels herself to marry a rich fiancé she can’t quite manage to love. An abandoned woman tries to choose between the opposing pleasures of seduction and solitude. To read these stories is to succumb to the spell of a true narrative sorcerer, a writer who enchants her readers utterly even as she restores them to their truest selves.
Alice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario. She has published thirteen collections of stories and a novel. During her distinguished career she has been the recipient of many awards, including two Giller Prizes, 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, Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s Magazine, The Paris Review, Granta, and many other publications, and her collections have been translated into thirteen languages.
