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.

读后感
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...
评分书名叫两全其美，但其实真正的生活里，哪有两全其美的机会呢，更常见的应该是两手皆空、鸡飞蛋打吧。 贝丝特维斯：单相思。一场从开始几乎注定是失败的爱恋，哪有两全其美，只有求之不得的刻骨铭心。 青涩的成熟：情窦初开。说实话第二个故事有点困惑，感觉是个诱奸幼女？爸爸...
评分作者笔下的人观察力敏锐。可必须要交谈的时候，他们像是潜水钟，无法准确地，或者因为这样那样的顾虑，无法完全地表达出自己的看法。是懦弱呀，喉咙紧着，心跳快了，说着别的话搪塞过去了，心里不断不断地自责着。 Meloy 的描写往往避开人物本身：她写他们眼里看到的景与物。而...

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Montana这样平静偏僻的地方普通人生活中的暗涌。书名很有意思，书中相关句子是这样：“There was a poem Meg had brought home from college, with the line “Both ways is the only way I want it.” The force with which he wanted it both ways made him grit his teeth. What kind of fool wanted it only one way?”
评分与其说是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
评分字里行间的克制是成年人的看透不说穿 或是给最固执的读者留有些许希望
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
