About This Book

Eleven "witty, subtle, [and] passionate" (The New York Times Book Review) stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro, "a true master of the form" (Salman Rushdie)

"Alice Munro's fine and intelligent stories are like Edward Hopper paintings, lit with a relentless clarity, and richly illuminating the perplexities of human connection, their possibilities and pain."—Washington Post Book World
 
In these piercingly lovely and endlessly surprising stories by one of the most acclaimed practitioners of the art of fiction, many things happen; there are betrayals and reconciliations, love affairs consummated and mourned. But the true events in The Moons of Jupiter are the ways in which the characters are transformed over time, coming to view their past selves with anger, regret, and infinite compassion that communicate themselves to us with electrifying force.
