LIFE STORIES(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Here are two acclaimed memoirs in one remarkable volume. In an
extraordinarily compelling voice, Dorothy Gallagher tells stories
taking us from her parents’ beginnings in the Ukraine to her own
childhood in 1940s New York, through the many adventures of her
extended family and into her own adult life. Her themes are
universal: the fragility of friendship, the power of love, the
marital crisis brought on by chronic illness, the role of dumb luck
at the heart of life–Gallagher dramatizes her stories with acute
insight, strong feeling, and edgy wit.

　　Dorothy Gallagher is the author of How I Came Into My
Inheritance and Other True Stories, a New York Times Notable Book,
one of Time magazine’s best books of the year, and a runner-up for
the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir; Hannah’s
Daughters: Six Generations of an American Family, 1876—1976; and
All the Right Enemies: The Life and Murder of Carlo Tresca, a New
York Times Notable Book. Her work has appeared in The New York
Times Magazine, The New York Times Book Review, and Grand Street.
She was born and raised and now lives in New York.
