Alice Munro explora las facetas más diversas, profundas e íntimas del amor: desde las relaciones entre padres, hijos y hermanos, hasta la pasión sexual o el amor platónico.
Se podría concebir El progreso del amor como unas crónicas de nuestro tiempo que, con gran sensibilidad y empatía, nos descubren los aspectos más intrínsecos de la vida cotidiana; toda una revelación de nosotros mismos -los lectores-, nuestras elecciones y nuestras experiencias. En su conjunto, son un tratado del amor, formado por historias íntimas y deslumbrantes que exploran sus distintas facetas -filial, platónico, sexual, parental e imaginario- en las vidas de personajes aparentemente ordinarios.
Munro nos habla sobre cómo puede engañarnos la memoria y cómo nuestra percepción puede llegar a distorsionar la realidad. De esta forma empieza a entretejer los once relatos sobre el amor, la memoria y la vida que constituyen este volumen.
Opinión:
«Sus personajes son sencillos y es dueña de las mayores sutilezas del alma humana. Historias que acaban siendo grandes tragedias. Es una escritora adictiva.»
Ignacio Martínez de Pisón
«Me habría gustado escribir cualquier cuento de Alice Munro. Me parece una maestra. Me ha ayudado a escribirsobre la maternidad, la amistad entre mujeres, las relaciones entre madres e hijas.»
Elvira Lindo, La 2 de TVE
