内容简介

艾丽丝·门罗最新作品《致生活》依然是讲平凡人的生活。通过短暂的瞬间讲人的一生。故事仍然发生在加拿大小镇，门罗的家乡，休伦湖附近。作者自己曾说：“书里所描写的那些感觉很大一部分都是自传性的。”作者凭借其透彻的视角和独特的天赋，叙述了一个个故事，这些故事讲述了分离聚合，危险事故，离家回乡，其中夹杂着想象和写实。把平淡生活描绘成一幅闪耀而不可磨灭的画卷，就算平淡生活也会有令人感觉陌生，危险和独特的感觉。错过的机会、命运的捉弄，使人偏离原先的轨迹，改变一个人的想法。小说的第十三章中作者借助形形色色的人发出的不同声音作为描绘人物性格的跳板，最后确实阐释了生命这个话题。第十四章中作者以“我”的角度，截取成长过程中的片段，论述了平淡生活中的真理。故事中的人就是现实生活中的人，作者正是通过对这些人的描写来阐述人生中某些严肃的话题。
