Relation In Favor Of Books Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

In the her tenth collection (the title story of which is the basis for the new film Hateship Loveship), Alice Munro achieves new heights, creating narratives that loop and swerve like memory, and conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves.

A tough-minded housekeeper jettisons the habits of a lifetime because of a teenager’s practical joke. A college student visiting her brassy, unconventional aunt stumbles on an astonishing secret and its meaning in her own life. An incorrigible philanderer responds with unexpected grace to his wife’s nursing-home romance.

Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best, tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.

Criticism Appertaining To Books Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

I sometimes get into conversations with people who have a hard time connecting with the short-story format; they say that they hardly have time to muster an emotional involvement in the characters and events, before the story is over. To those readers I might recommend Alice Munro. True, I have only experienced one of her collections, but the stories in Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage are nothing if not emotionally affectingor "crushingly tragic," I suppose, if you want to

At some point in my life, I stopped liking short stories. Reading them, no matter how well crafted, raised feelings of impatience in me. In respect to the authors of this genre, I decided to avoid it for years. But... Alice Munro was breathed at me as the quintessential short story writer, in 2003, by a few avid readers I didn't know well and I decided that it was time to break my fast and immerse myself respectfully in Munro's art. Conclusion: Munro does write beautifully. I, however, continue

This is a beautiful compilation of amazing and honest short stories that all deal with life. I was taken away with the very first story, and I was amazed throughout the book with how Alice Munro is able to write about things and situations in life that we don't normally think that much about in our own lives. What I love the most about this compilation is how it is so honest. It's okay to fall in love with other people, but it's your choice whether you want to act on it or not. It's okay to grow

I guess after a while there isn't really anything you can say about Munro's work. I thought this is by far and away the best I've read so far, but although 22 of my friends on GR have read it, they haven't written a word between them on it.Pretty much how I feel too. Same, same, same, but better! I'm guessing, from the random order I've read these in, that she had a period of really good preceded and succeeded by something less than that. One thing that strikes me as odd about my relationship to

Forsooken but not forsakenIn a time of either careless abandon or generous inclusion of any literary technique ever thought of, Alice Munro still manages to surprise the reader, not only with her deceptive narrative perspective or her sly manipulation of the timeline, but also with the unexpected development of well-known themes, the powerful recreation of places and people and the plethora of significations. I read so many volumes of short stories, including one of hers, but I can hardly

These stories!! The intimacy and the overwhelming, heartbreaking tenderness to these stories seem exactly catered to me as a reader. There is so much love and beauty and generosity in these stories that this collection absolutely blew me away. Unlike other reviewers, the first and titular story was not my favorite. I quite enjoyed it - it's masterfully accomplished and the shifts from perspective to perspective were stunning. But during other stories I found myself holding my breath, marveling

Four- or five-stars for the skill and power of the writing, three-stars for my overall enjoyment of the collection. Alice packs plots other authors would spend novels unraveling in short stories built with astonishing linguistic economy. I've seen it noted elsewhere, but Munro demands her readers' attention and you can easily become lost in her time-hopping, name-dropping narratives if you aren't keeping up with her. Some of these stories span whole lives, others whole relationships. Her stories
