Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It
by Maile Meloy
Award-winning writer Maile Meloy’s return to short stories explores complex lives in an austere landscape with the clear-sightedness that first endeared her to readers. Eleven new stories demonstrate the emotional power and the clean, assured style that have earned Meloy praise from critics and devotion from readers. 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. Named as one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by The New York Times.
