Product Details

Praise

“I’ve always loved Alice Munro’s writing, but this story punctured something. I read it, stunned, and let it sit there. It seemed to enter like a bullet. So concise and unsentimental, nothing to cushion the blow of its impact. When I was finished, I couldn’t stop weeping.”

—Sarah Polley, from the Preface

 

“Munro has a strong claim to being the best fiction writer now working in North America.”

—Jonathan Franzen, The New York Times Book Review

“The authority she brings to the page is just lovely.” —Elizabeth Strout

“She’s the most savage writer I’ve ever read, also the most tender, the most honest, the most perceptive.” —Jeffery Eugenides

“Alice Munro can move characters through time in a way that no other writer can.” —Julian Barnes

“She is a short-story writer who…reimagined what a story can do.” —Loorie Moore
