Alice Munro

Eleven stories, including "Miles City, Montanta", "Lichen", and "White dump", reveal the nature of power of love between children and parents, between siblings, and between estranged lovers.

The Progress of Love

Rodrigo Figueiredo Severino

I hate dropping books but this just wasn’t for me. I don’t think short story collections are my thing, and even with that in mind I thought these stories were pretty mundane. It’s got good writing for sure but it’s just not for me.

++ stinging, very well written short tales. Alice Munro is the second coming of Flannery O'Connor.
-- do not read in a sad mood

**Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature** These dazzling and utterly satisfying stories explore varieties and degrees of love - filial, platonic, sexual, parental and imagined - in the lives of apparently ordinary folk. In fact, Munro's characters pulse with idiosyncratic life. Under the polished surface of these unsentimental dispatches from the small-town and rural front lies a strong undertow of violence and sexuality, repressed until something snaps, with extraordinary force in some of the stories, sadly and strangely in others.
