Produktbeschreibungen
Pressestimmen
"Munro is in a class of her own....No other writer working today is able to invest the humble story with more power, grace or breadth....Munro has been compared to Chekhov...She has the haunting lyricism and the indulgent wisdom to qualify."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
"How does one know when one is in the grip of art, a major talent? One feels it in the assurance, the sensibility behind every line of a work; one knows its presence as much from what is withheld as from what is given or explained. It is art that speaks from the pages of Alice Munro's stories." -- Wall Street Journal

I nominate Munro for the Nobel Prize
19. Oktober 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I won't tell you what to look for or how to feel when you read Alice Munro. If you've never encountered her before, The Moons of Jupiter is the best place to start, early Munro at the height of her evocative powers. Don't turn to the Selected Stories first. Each of Munro's books is a suite of stories, interlocking in themes and often in characters, on the model of a sonata, a suite of musical movements. The experience of reading the whole suite is more powerful than the sum of the separate stories. Perhaps the story-suite is the successor to the floundering form of the modern novel.
By the way, Munro is admittedly a woman writng about women for women to read, but I'm an outdoors guy, a baseball fan, a weight-lifter, and at least until my son was born something of a rascal, despite all of which I rank Alice Munro very high among my favorite fiction writers.

provides great perspectives to the perplexities of everyday
13. März 1999
In The Moons of Jupiter, Munro clearly reveals the universal perplexities of our everyday lives. The characters have a rich realness to them and must be commended for their candid honesty. The strength of this book lies in Munro's ability to create a genuine perspective in which the reader has no choice than to become emotionally connected to the characters. I enjoyed these stories because there are many "grey areas" in which the reader must rely on his own experiences to draw conclusions. There are no definative endings to these stories. They are written in such a way that there is often a fine line between hope and despondence; only the reader's morals and values can recognize one from the other.
Humble, yet fun
17. August 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I am not an expert, when it comes to literature, but my opinion about the book is as follows. The book offers some great stories with describtions so detailed that one can believe the stories are all true. SOme of them are very moving, some of them very shallow, but they are all great stories. The reason I gave the book 3 stars out of 5 is, that the stories are not connected. The only thing they have in common is that they happen in the same cities. After reading the book, the pieces of the book are still left shattered. I recommend reading the book chapter by chapter.
