Runaway (book)
Tricks. Eight stories ( in the original Runaway, 2004) is the eleventh collection of short stories by Alice Munro.
In the cover story of Munro's strengths would be clear: as descriptions in detail and in the total complement each other, like the characters observed, but not be criticized as subliminally remains participation, so that readers can get involved, but do not need, and how refined the action is constructed whose constructedness is undetectable, so Tilman Spreckelsen, who in the FAZ to the Nobel Prize for Alice Munro, the title story of this collection takes as an example in his article.
Even Annette Traks in their comprehensive review of the collection in The Huffington Post points out that figures would only characterized by their words and actions, or by their inaction. Traks concludes that it would be beneficial, as Munro set to mature readers.
Jonathan Franzen writes in his review of this book for The New York Times that there were even better stories in Runaway as The Bear Came Over the Mountain (1999/2001), for the works contained herein are daring, bloody, deeper and broader.
