Munro is a master of the short story. ( )

Modern Classic

Beautifully detailed vignettes. A lot of similar themes and situations come up again, so maybe a good one to dip into rather than read straight off. Very convincing characters and situations, and lots of mid-life regrets (with the occasional bit of redemption). Generally not the most uplifting stories, although their clarity somehow alleviates that.

It struck me while reading them that they are the type of stories that don't get told very often in comics. ( )

Just gorgeous. ( )

Though well written, I didn't really like these short stories. The characters didn't engage me & I was often left with a feeling that the story didn't have any purpose. ( )
