A review by apetruce
Dear Life by Alice Munro

3.0

Munro has won hosts of awards and is lauded of late as one of the best fiction writers of our time. I think she's good but not profound. Her short stories are thought-provoking and dredge up little corners of existence and puts words on them. I like that. I like that she writes about many strictly female emotions and events in an unapologetic way. But her work is not the type I would seek out for either escape or comfort. I think of her stories as something to do on a airplane or while waiting at the hairdressers.
