Byatt, A. S., Literary Review: "Munro's short stories...contain whole lives (which should have taken whole novels) in the brief spaces of tales. She is the great describer of quotidian rhythms--food, embarrassment, clothes, ageing, sex, child-bearing and child-rearing....She still sees and records terrestrial dailyness with precision and glitter. But she seems to be looking from further away." |
