I finished Alice Munro's latest collection of short stories Too Much Happiness, and this book has reinforced my belief that she is the best short story writer working today, if not of all time.
Reading the Amazon reviews of her novel I find a number of people think her work is too grotesque and her plots too "literary." I can see that, her genius is subtle and her writing needs to be read closely.
Am I being too much of a fanboy? What do y'all think of her? Have you read any Alice Munro? and if not, why are you reading a short story discussion board? (kidding, sort of).
Later,
Bill
