The finest writer of short stories working in the English language today
The Times
The greatest living short story writer
A. S. Byatt, Sunday Times
Munro's power of analysis, of sensations and thoughts is almost Proustian in its sureness
New Statesman
A remarkable writer whose major characters emerge in shining clarity... A major talent is at work here
Los Angeles Times
Virginia Woolf described George Eliot as one of the few writers 'for grown-up people.' The same might today, and with equal justice, be said of Alice Munro
New York Times Book Review
The particular brilliance of Alice Munro is that in range and depth her short stories are almost novels
Daily Telegraph
Read not more than one of her stories a day, and allow them to work their spell: they are made to last
Observer
She is our Chekhov, and is going to outlast most of her contemporaries
Cynthia Ozick
