Away from Her
|
(Buch) |
| Inhalt: |
From Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro, “a true master of the form” (Salman Rushdie), comes the brilliant short story that inspired the major motion picture starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent—featuring a Preface from Sarah Polley
“I’ve always loved Alice Munro’s writing, but this story punctured something. I read it, stunned, and let it sit there. It seemed to enter like a bullet. So concise and unsentimental, nothing to cushion the blow of its impact. When I was finished, I couldn’t stop weeping.”—Sarah Polley, from the Preface
Alice Munro has long been heralded for her penetrating, lyrical prose, and in “The Bear Came Over the Mountain”—the basis for Sarah Polley’s film Away from Her—her prodigious talents are once again on display. As she follows Grant, a retired professor whose wife, Fiona, begins gradually to drift away from him, we slowly see how a lifetime of intimate details can create a marriage, and how mysterious the bonds of love really are. |
