Friend of My Youth is a book of 10 short stories. It won the 1990 Trillium Book Award. Caught in the midst of contemporary crises and challenges, women and men reminisce about the long-buried dreams, aspirations, and difficult decisions that have shaped their lives. Alice Ann Munro (10 July 193113 May 2024) was a Canadian writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Her work tends to move forward and backward in time, with integrated short story cycles. Munro's fiction is most often set in her native Huron County, Ontario. Her stories explore human complexities in a meticulous prose style. Munro received the Man Booker International Prize in 2009 for her life's work. She was also a three-time winner of Canada's Governor General's Award for Fiction, and received the Writers' Trust of Canada's 1996 Marian Engel Award and the 2004 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize for Runaway. Derived from a Kirkus review: By now Munro can do with the short story whatever she wishes, and get away with it. She can paraphrase old bad poems and in-fold a slight story about burial at sea, so that, when opened up, the result is a masterly revision of Chekhov's masterpiece "Gusev." So much particularized life is packed into her every story that for her just to nudge these pieces causes glacially significant movement. Here, that movement most impressively is about sexadulterous sex experienced by otherwise contentedly married women. In "Five Points," a married woman takes from her lover the honor of sex, a network of feeling like the "underground system that you call 'dreams'. . .all coiling and stretching, unpredictable but finally familiar. . ." To another, in "Oh, What Avails," adultery"her sustaining secret"means the continuance of her married life, "and in order to continue it she must have this other. This other what? This investigationto herself she still thinks of it as an investigation." Adultery brings suffering aplenty in the stories, but it is only another kind of suffering in the weft of marriage. Forgiveness born of knowledge is the air of Munro's fiction: the husband, in the best story here, "Oranges and Apples," considers his wife's excessively colorful clothing and thinks: "He was willing to see all sorts of difficult things about Barbaraher uncharitableness, perhaps, or intransigencebut nothing that made her seem a little foolish, or sad." Generosity is squeezed from life's crowding. Munro's finest collection yet. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
