“Munro is in a class of her own. . . . No other writer working
today is able to invest the humble story with more power, grace or
breadth. . . . Munro has been compared to Chekhov. . . . She has
the haunting lyricism and the indulgent wisdom to qualify.”—Los
Angeles Times Book Review
“How does one know when one is in the grip of art, a major talent?
One feels it in the assurance, the sensibility behind every line of
a work; one knows its presence as much from what is withheld as
from what is given or explained. It is art that speaks from the
pages of Alice Munro’s stories.”—Wall Street Journal
