alice munro is very good at writing
Great short stories. I liked how the last four were semi-autobiographical. My favorites were Amundsen, Leaving Maverly, and Corrie

Read for book group. Didn't love. Didn't hate. Meh.
Read this for a book group, or I would not have picked it up. I have never been very good at reading short stories--the endings often seem very abrupt and irrelevant. In this case, for instance, where did those skunks come from????
On the whole, I found the stories interesting and engaging. I was a bit annoyed by the remark, in one of the autobiographical pieces, that Munro finds her writing to be always disappointing. From a Nobel Prize winner, that seems at the very least disengenuous.

ჭიქა ჩაი და ელის მანროს მოთხრობები, საოცარი მსუბუქი წერის მანერა აქვს, მაგრამ ეს სიმსუბუქე თემებზე არ ვრცელდება, როდესაც ვკითხულობდი საოცარ ღიმილს იწვევდა სევდიანს და აღფრთოვანებისას. საოცარი ოსტატობით არის დაწერილი თითოეული მოთხრობა, ბრწყინვალეა. წაკითხვის შემდეგ კი გრჩება სევდიანი განწყობა და ბევრი კითხვა.
