Fiction
In the nine breathtaking stories that make up her
celebrated tenth collection, Alice Munro achieves new
heights, creating narratives that loop and swerve like
memory, and conjuring up characters as thorny and
contradictory as people we know ourselves.
A tough-minded housekeeper jettisons the habits of a
lifetime because of a teenager�s practical joke. A college
student visiting her brassy, unconventional aunt stumbles on
an astonishing secret and its meaning in her own life. An
incorrigible philanderer responds with unexpected grace to
his wife�s nursing-home romance. Hateship, Friendship,
Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best,
tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and
gloriously humane.
