Requests:  0 Summary:  "From the recipient of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature-perhaps our most beloved author-a new selection of her peerless short fiction, gathered from the collections of the last two decades, a companion volume to Selected Stories (1968-1994). By all accounts, no Nobel Prize in recent years has garnered the enthusiastic reception that Alice Munro's has, and in its wake, her reputation and readership has skyrocketed worldwide. Now, Family Furnishings will bring us twenty-five of her most accomplished, most powerfully affecting stories, most of them set in the territory she has so brilliantly made her own: the small towns and flatlands of southwestern Ontario. Sublty honed with the author's hallmark precision, grace, and compassion, these stories illuminate the ordinary but quite extraordinary particularity in the lives of men, women, and children as they discover sex, fall in love, part, quarrel, head out into the unknown, suffer defeat, find a way to be in the world. As the Nobel Prize presentation speech reads in part: "Reading one of Alice Munro's texts is like watching a cat walk across a laid dinner table. A brief short story can often cover decades, summarizing a life, as she moves deftly between different periods. No wonder Alice Munro is often able to say more in thirty pages than an ordinary novelist is capable of in three hundred. She is a virtuoso of the elliptical and...the master of the contemporary short story.""-- "A selection of short stories by the Nobel Prize-winning author, Alice Munro"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked out 07/02/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked out 06/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked out 07/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Munro Checked out 07/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Munro Transit   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
