A...writer of great sensitivity and delicacy. Her new collection of stories show no falling off in her gift for putting the ordinary into a sharp, clear persepective, seem very near and also very far away
Guardian
She draws her readers irresistably into the undergrowth of other people's private lives
Cosmopolitan
A work of great brilliance and depth... Munro's power of analysis, of sensation, and thoughts, is almost Proustian in its sureness
New Statesman
Only a few writers continue to create those full-bodied miniature universes of the old school. Some of her short stories are so ample and fulfilling that they feel like novels. They present whole landscapes and cultures, whole families of characters
Anne Tyler
Like her similarly gifted contemporaries Peter Taylor, William Trevor, Edna O'Brien...Alice Munro writes stories that have the density - moral, emotional, sometimes historical - of other writers' novels
Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times Book Review
In range and depth her short stories are almost novels...complete, complex, and brilliantly structured... One of the finest living short-story writers
Daily Telegraph
Whatever it is that makes some writing come alive in every phrase and sentence, Alice Munro has it... I wouldn't willingly miss one of her stories
Sunday Times
Munro has been compared with Proust, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and remains - though dazzling - quite unperturbed and unaffected, her writing smooth and supple
Financial Times
She has a touch of genius
Mail on Sunday
One of the foremost contemporary practitioners of the short story
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
