Carried Away: A Personal Selection of Stories

My first experience of Munro — stunning at first, then somewhat dreary and repetitive, and then an icy maturity as she broke new ground with the later stories. On a prose level, this is a master class, but the subject material feels as exhausting as living through the mid 20th century myself, and her ungenerously precise view of people is a relief to step away from every so often. A writer to admire and learn from but not one I think I’ll be revisiting often.
