Author: Munro, Alice
Condition: New
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 PolleyIve always loved Alice Munros 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 couldnt stop weeping.-Sarah Polley, from the PrefaceAlice Munro has long been heralded for her penetrating, lyrical prose, and in The Bear Came Over the Mountain-the basis for Sarah Polleys 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.
