Meloy’s first return to short stories since her critically acclaimed debut, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It is an extraordinary new work from one of the most promising writers of the last decade.
Eleven unforgettable new stories demonstrate the emotional power and the clean, assured style that have earned Meloy praise from critics and devotion from readers. Propelled by a terrific instinct for storytelling, and concerned with the convolutions of modern love and the importance of place, this collection is about the battlefields—and fields of victory—that exist in seemingly harmless spaces, in kitchens and living rooms and cars. Set mostly in the American West, the stories feature small-town lawyers, ranchers, doctors, parents, and children, and explore the moral quandaries of love, family, and friendship. A ranch hand falls for a recent law school graduate who appears unexpectedly— and reluctantly—in his remote Montana town. A young father opens his door to find his dead grandmother standing on the front step. Two women weigh love and betrayal during an early snow. Throughout the book, Meloy examines the tensions between having and wanting, as her characters try to keep hold of opposing forces in their lives: innocence and experience, risk and stability, fidelity and desire.
Knowing, sly, and bittersweet, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It confirms Maile Meloy’s singular literary talent. Her lean, controlled prose, full of insight and unexpected poignancy, is the perfect complement to her powerfully moving storytelling.

评分平日喜欢看电影，我超爱凯莉·雷查德，特别是《米克的近路》，那是一部反类型的杰作：传统西部片中由男性主导的暴力性景观，转化为女性的沉默、忍耐和长途跋涉……雷查德拒绝了戏剧性，拒绝观众的眼光，转而向生活本身的真实性靠拢，以剧中女性的视角，塑成一个更为完整的世界...
用户评价
读完整本，我不禁开始怀疑对开篇的喜欢是不是因为经过了影像的熏陶？显然电影对<Travis, B.>的改编拿捏得非常棒，无论是整体悄无声息的风格，空旷平凡中涌动的情绪，故事的简单与内心的波澜反差，以及女主衣着、吃饭模样的细节刻画，都做到了影像与文本同样出色（也许正是文本的简练给了影像发挥的空间），当然了把男孩子换成女孩子更是电影的神来之笔。不过越往后读惊喜越少，第二和第三篇还算挺喜欢，再后面出轨主题重复的有点多，有几篇场景集中在室内对话显得短而狭窄。感觉下来确实她的书还是比较适合影像化的。
评分在豆瓣的年度榜上发现的书，短篇小说集，挺不错的，一次一个故事，写人的那点小心思。
评分The first story alone makes this a masterpiece. The first time I read about Montana in a literary work and it is absolutely soul crashing.
评分与其说是certain women 倒不如说是certain women in men’s eyes 所以唯一一篇女性视角的《Two-Step》最深刻 女性可以轻而易举地看懂男性的装腔作势 反过来只会有点凸显男性的自作多情 但放在父女关系的那篇《The Girlfriend》里就合适不过了
评分I just cannot bring myself to give a shit about the characters... no connection whatsoever... 好像能感受到作者想走的文风方向，但最后结果文笔过于平淡。听的有声书，narrator们非常好，算是个亮点
