Reviews
"Surely Munro's best yet." The New York Times Book Review "She is the living writer most likely to be read in a hundred years." Mona Simpson, The Atlantic Monthly "One of the foremost practitioners of the art of the short story. . . . These tales have the intimacy of a family photo album and the organic feel of real life." The New York Times "A writer to cherish. . . . The sheer spaciousness of Munro's storytelling, her gift for surprising us with the truth about ourselves, has transcended national boundaries." Los Angeles Times Book Review "In Munro's hands, as in Chekhov's, a short story is more than big enough to hold the worldand to astonish us, again and again." -Chicago Tribune

Synopsis
A superb new collection from one of our best and best-loved writers. Nine stories draw us immediately into that special place known as Alice Munro territorya place where an unexpected twist of events or a suddenly recaptured memory can illumine the arc of an entire life. The fate of a strong-minded housekeeper with a "frizz of reddish hair," just entering the dangerous country of old-maidhood, is unintentionally (and deliciously) reversed by a teenaged girl's practical joke. A college student visiting her aunt for the first time and recognizing the family furniture stumbles on a long-hidden secret and its meaning in her own life. An inveterate philanderer finds the tables turned when he puts his wife into an old-age home. A young cancer patient stunned by good news discovers a perfect bridge to her suddenly regained future. A woman recollecting an afternoon's wild lovemaking with a stranger realizes how the memory of that encounter has both changed for her and sustained her through a lifetime. Men and women are subtly revealed. Personal histories, both complex and simple, unfold in rich detail of circumstance and feeling. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage provides the deep pleasures and rewards that Alice Munro's large and ever- growing audience has come to expect.

    Alice Munro at her BEST

    I bought Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage simply because it coincided Comfort, which I think is one of the all time truly great short stories. I had already read most of the other stories in this book in various anthologies of Munro's work. A former editor at Little Brown Publishers asked me to read Comfort and send him my take on the ending. I am evermore grateful to him for that request. I suspect the story has not been included in her anthologies because it reflects Munro's irreligious stance so firmly and eloquently and because it is about the "steely devotion" required when honoring a deceased loved one's final wishes. Every story in the book is a jewel. Highest recommendation!
