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.
