2013. aastal Nobeli kirjandusauhinna võitnud Kanada autori Alice Munro esimene eestindus tutvustab kirjaniku novelliparemikku. “Kerjustüdruku” kümnes novellis avaneb kahe naise lugu, milles nende elu keerdkäigud, eri vanuses kogetud hirmud, painavad kahtlused ja ilmutuslikud hetked põimuvad elavate piltide mustriks. Tüdruk, naine, ema, näitleja, õppejõud, armastaja, hooldaja, hooldekodu elanik – kõik need rollid loob Munro talle omase napi kujundikeelega, mille sügavus on ometi andnud põhjust...

2013. aastal Nobeli preemiaga pärjatud Kanada kirjaniku uusima novellikogu kohta on autor mõista andnud, et see jääb tema viimaseks teoseks. Sel juhul on kahtlemata tegemist väärika punktiga, kuna antudki kogumikus tabab autor nüansirikkalt ja köitvalt pealtnäha tavaliste inimeste elusaatusi ja hingemaailma. Autor viib lugeja äratundmisele, kui ohtlik ja kummaline on tegelikult meie igapäevane elu.

The world's finest living short story writer turns to her family for inspiration; and what follows is a fictionalised, brilliantly imagined version of the past. From her ancestors' view from Edinburgh's Castle Rock in the eighteenth century to her parents' thwarted ambitions in Ontario, and her own awakening in 1950s Canada, Munro effortlessly weaves fact and myth to create an epic story of past and present, proving that fiction has much to tell us about life.

These dazzling and utterly satisfying stories explore varieties and degrees of love - filial, platonic, sexual, parental and imagined - in the lives of apparently ordinary folk. In fact, Munro's characters pulse with idiosyncratic life. Under the polished surface of these unsentimental dispatches from the small-town and rural front lies a strong undertow of violence and sexuality, repressed until something snaps, with extraordinary force in some of the stories, sadly and strangely in...
