At first I didn't like that her stories tended to be so "narrative". That is, there's far more of the narrative voice than actual story—in the sense of character's interacting. But I kept reading.<br />In the meantime, I've really come to value Munro's way of storytelling. One gets the feeling that she's sitting across from the reader (the way women do, I think) telling the story behind the story. I also like the glimpse behind a girl and woman's experience growing up and living.<br />She's one our great storyteller's and writers in my opinion. Any aspiring writer could learn from her. And what a memory! To have seen Alice Munro! PGillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12281818577673476273noreply@blogger.com
