One of the most esteemed writers in the world....Few writers capture the moral ambiguities, murkiness, messiness - and joy - of relationships with as much empathy and grace as Munro
Guardian
Her work is practically perfect. Any writer has to gawk when reading her because her work is very subtle and precise
Jane Smiley
The best short story writer alive... Munro can pack more into one of her stories - more subtlety, more grace, more tender twists of the human heart - than many novelists do in a lifetime's oeuvre
Independent
One of the world's best living short-story writers...say that she has made the short story her own and reinvigorated it somehow falls short - she has reinvented it
Observer
Munro's stories enact what can only be called a sort of magic
Ali Smith
Alice Munro! Now that's writing
Margaret Atwood
Stories that mirror reality -- in all its erratic unpredictability -- so convincingly that you can almost forget the skill with which they're created
Daily Mail
The Great One
Jonathan Franzen
In these stories, fiction saves lives. Imagination kills. Tales break bones
New Statesman
Munro can be harrowing to read; she can make your gums tingle, make you moan, or make you cry...really, who could be better?
