Die Heldinnen dieser Geschichten sind Frauen jeden Alters, die mit der Gewissheit leben, dass alles vergänglich ist, dass der Tod wie der Mond das ganze Leben begleitet. Alice Munro schildert mit Melancholie und Ironie alltägliche Erfahrungen: den trügerischen Wert der Erinnerungen, die Geheimnisse von Familien, die Wunden der Liebe. Die Titelgeschichte handelt vom Sterben eines Mannes, dessen Tochter sich von den Schatten der Vergangenheit lösen möchte. Sie zieht sich ins Planetarium zurück und wird durch die erhabene Ruhe, mit der die Planeten und Monde ihre Bahnen ziehen, getröstet.
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013

In these piercingly lovely and endlessly surprising stories by one of the most acclaimed current 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 an anger, regret, and infinite compassion that communicate themselves to us with electrifying force.

Pressestimmen

Munro is in a class of her own. . . . No other writer working today is able to invest the humble story with more power, grace or breadth. . . . Munro has been compared to Chekhov. . . . She has the haunting lyricism and the indulgent wisdom to qualify. Los Angeles Times Book Review

How does one know when one is in the grip of art, a major talent? One feels it in the assurance, the sensibility behind every line of a work; one knows its presence as much from what is withheld as from what is given or explained. It is art that speaks from the pages of Alice Munro s stories. Wall Street Journal
