ALICE MUNRO - GEBRAUCHT FAMILY FURNISHINGS SELE...

A Best Book of the Year: San Francisco Chronicle  NPR  Minneapolis Star Tribune  Here is a
selection of Munro's most accomplished and powerfully affecting short fiction from the last two
decades  a companion volume to A Wilderness Station: Selected Stories  1968-1994. These stories
encompass the fullness of human experience  from the wild exhilaration of first love (in
"Passion") to the punishing consequences of leaving home ("Runaway") or ending a marriage ("The
Children Stay"). And in stories that Munro has described as "closer to the truth than
usual"-"Dear Life " "Working for a Living " and "Home"-we glimpse the author's own life.  
Subtly honed with her hallmark precision  grace  and compassion  these stories illuminate the
quotidian yet astonishing particularities in the lives of men and women  parents and children 
friends and lovers as they discover sex  fall in love  part  quarrel  suffer defeat  set off
into the unknown  or find a way to be in the world.
