Meloy’s first return to short stories since her critically acclaimed debut, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It is an extraordinary new work from one of the most promising writers of the last decade.
Eleven unforgettable new stories demonstrate the emotional power and the clean, assured style that have earned Meloy praise from critics and devotion from readers. Propelled by a terrific instinct for storytelling, and concerned with the convolutions of modern love and the importance of place, this collection is about the battlefields—and fields of victory—that exist in seemingly harmless spaces, in kitchens and living rooms and cars. Set mostly in the American West, the stories feature small-town lawyers, ranchers, doctors, parents, and children, and explore the moral quandaries of love, family, and friendship. A ranch hand falls for a recent law school graduate who appears unexpectedly— and reluctantly—in his remote Montana town. A young father opens his door to find his dead grandmother standing on the front step. Two women weigh love and betrayal during an early snow. Throughout the book, Meloy examines the tensions between having and wanting, as her characters try to keep hold of opposing forces in their lives: innocence and experience, risk and stability, fidelity and desire.
Knowing, sly, and bittersweet, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It confirms Maile Meloy’s singular literary talent. Her lean, controlled prose, full of insight and unexpected poignancy, is the perfect complement to her powerfully moving storytelling.
With the succinct stories that have become her signature, Maile Meloy has graced literary publications from The New Yorker to The Paris Review and Best New American Voices. Her first published story collection, Half in Love, promises to bring Meloy's acclaimed vignettes to an even wider audience.
与其说是certain women 倒不如说是certain women in men’s eyes 所以唯一一篇女性视角的《Two-Step》最深刻 女性可以轻而易举地看懂男性的装腔作势 反过来只会有点凸显男性的自作多情 但放在父女关系的那篇《The Girlfriend》里就合适不过了
评分I just cannot bring myself to give a shit about the characters... no connection whatsoever... 好像能感受到作者想走的文风方向,但最后结果文笔过于平淡。听的有声书,narrator们非常好,算是个亮点
评分The first story alone makes this a masterpiece. The first time I read about Montana in a literary work and it is absolutely soul crashing.
评分非常精彩的短篇小说集,最喜欢的是Liliana
评分每一种两面性的情感拼凑成了人生的一段段。
花了两天的时间读完了《两全其美》,最开始被这本书吸引的是它的英文名,Both ways is the only way I want it,当时想着,为什么把这句话翻译为两全其美呢,于是抱着这种疑惑与好奇翻完了这11个小故事。 11个小故事,关于心动,关于悸动,关于选择,关于拥有与失去。每一个短...
评分其实说起来我本人看这本书的时间还是蛮早的,因为高中时与一个文青范儿的朋友 了和他保持共同的话题,所以读了大量这样的文学作品,而我当时读的第一本就是这本书,也算是开启了一个新世界的大门 ,非常精彩 ,非常好, 很多人的阅读水平适合读这些的文字情节,欣赏水平特别达...
