The progress of love : stories

Alice Munro, who received the National Book Critics Circle Award for her latest collection of stories, The Love of a Good Woman, is widely acknowledged as a modern master of the short story. In this earlier collection, she demonstrates all of those strengths that have won her so many literary accolades.A divorced woman returns to her childhood home where she confronts the memory of her parents' confounding yet deep bond. The accidental near-drowning of a child exposes the fragility of the trust between children and parents. A young man, remembering a terrifying childhood incident, wrestles with the responsibility he has always felt for his younger brother. In these and other stories Alice Munro proves once again a sensitive and compassionate chronicler of our times. Drawing us into the most intimate corners of ordinary lives, she reveals much about ourselves, our choices, and our experiences of love.From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • "Se podría concebir El progreso del amor como unas crónicas de nuestro tiempo que, con gran sensibilidad y empatía, nos descubren los aspectos más intrínsecos de la vida cotidiana; toda una revelación de nosotros mismos -los lectores-, nuestras elecciones y nuestras experiencias. En su conjunto, son un tratado del amor, formado por historias íntimas y deslumbrantes que exploran sus distintas facetas--filial, platónico, sexual, parental e imaginario--en las vidas de personajes aparentemente ordinarios. Munro nos habla sobre cómo puede engañarnos la memoria y cómo nuestra percepción puede llegar a distorsionar la realidad. De esta forma empieza a entretejer los once relatos sobre el amor, la memoria y la vida que constituyen este volumen."

  • ""Los relatos de Alice Munro son como pequeñas novelas, pedazos de vida tejidos con maestría, a la manera de una Flannery O'Connor canadiense que hubiese crecido en una cabaña congelada repleta de niños que, de repente, se han convertido en adultos y eso no les gusta. Algo así es "The Progress of Love", uno de sus cuentos más representativos. La genial Margaret Atwood, que comparte con Munro nacionalidad, referentes y estilo narrativo, narra en "Death by Landscape" la historia de Lois, una mujer de mediana edad que trata de encontrar algo que perdió en el campamento Manitou, donde pasó los veranos de su infancia."--Editor."@en
