by Alice Munro

Readers know what they are going to get when they pick up an unfamiliar Alice Munro collection, and yet almost every page carries a bounty of unexpected action, feeling, language, and detail. Her stories are always unique, blazing an invigorating originality out of her seemingly commonplace subjects. Each collection develops her oeuvre in increments, subtly expanding her range.

    “Jon - you are so right about Ms. Munro. I'm generally not a short story reader - but her stories leave me wanting more and I couldn't wait to read on to the next one. I particularly relished the time period she wrote many of her stories and felt I was right there with the characters. I feel very friendly towards Ms. Munro and would most welcome a lovely chat with her.”
