Abstract
**Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature**Alice Munro's territory is the farms and semi-rural towns of south-western Ontario. And in sensitively exploring the lives of ordinary men and women, she makes us aware of the universal nature of their fears, sorrows and aspirations.
Description
Publisher Comments
In these fifteen short stories--her eighth collection of short stories in a long and distinguished career--Alice Munro conjures ordinary lives with an extraordinary vision, displaying the remarkable talent for which she is now widely celebrated. Set on farms, by river marshes, in the lonely towns and new suburbs of western Ontario, these tales are luminous acts of attention to those vivid moments when revelation emerges from the layers of experience that lie behind even the most everyday events and lives.
Virtuosity, elemental command, incisive like a diamond, remarkable: all these descriptions fit Alice Munro.--Christian Science Monitor
