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.

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
评分似乎到处都潜伏着一种危机，你也可以把它解读为两面性。最后，附加上NYT上的书评：http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/books/review/Sittenfeld-t.html
评分字里行间的克制是成年人的看透不说穿 或是给最固执的读者留有些许希望
评分读完整本，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。
评分如果我要成为写作者，第一步我希望可以写出类似作者的作品。
