Award-winning writer Maile Meloy's go back to short testimonies explores intricate lives within an austere panorama with the clear-sightedness that first endeared her to supporters.p>Eleven unforgettable new stories display the emotional vitality and the clean, confident style that have earned Meloy praise from critics and devotion from visitors and listeners. Propelled by a terrific instinct for storytelling, and concerned with the convolutions of modern love and the value of place, this collection is approximately the battlefields-and fields of victory-that exist in seemingly safe spaces, in kitchens and living spaces and cars. Arranged generally in the American West, the testimonies feature small-town law firms, ranchers, doctors, parents, and children and explore the moral quandaries of love, family, and friendship. A ranch hand comes for a recent law-school graduate who looks unexpectedly-and reluctantly-in his distant Montana town. A father starts his door to find his useless grandmother standing on the front step. Two women ponder love and betrayal during an early on snow. Throughout the booklet, Meloy examines the tensions between having and seeking, as her characters try to keep hold of opposing pushes in their lives: innocence and experience, risk and steadiness, fidelity and desire. Knowing, sly, and bittersweet, Both Ways May be the Only Way I Want It confirms Maile Meloy's singular literary talent. Her lean, manipulated prose, packed with insight and unexpected poignancy, is the perfect go with to her powerfully moving storytelling.
