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.

读后感
历时一周，用碎片化的时间读完了《两全其美》，这是我第一次读短片小说集，怎么说呢，感慨颇深。 全书共讲述了十一个故事，这十一个故事都是独立的，每个故事都很平淡，但每个故事读完后都有一种意犹未尽的感觉。无论是是那个情窦初开的少女，百般失落的老人，暗恋那个女孩的农...
评分 评分 评分书名叫两全其美，但其实真正的生活里，哪有两全其美的机会呢，更常见的应该是两手皆空、鸡飞蛋打吧。 贝丝特维斯：单相思。一场从开始几乎注定是失败的爱恋，哪有两全其美，只有求之不得的刻骨铭心。 青涩的成熟：情窦初开。说实话第二个故事有点困惑，感觉是个诱奸幼女？爸爸...

Montana这样平静偏僻的地方普通人生活中的暗涌。书名很有意思，书中相关句子是这样：“There was a poem Meg had brought home from college, with the line “Both ways is the only way I want it.” The force with which he wanted it both ways made him grit his teeth. What kind of fool wanted it only one way?”
评分Both ways is the ONLY way I want it.
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
