Who Do You Think You Are? by Alice Munro
4.5
Ms. Munro, the woman that you are. khala gifted me this book last summer when i was living in ottawa. i saw the cover and thought "damn that's ugly" and never gravitated towards reading it. well lo and behold a year later, two of the short stories are assigned in my class and the book is sitting on my shelf in my apartment.
AND WHAT A SHAME IT WAS THAT I NEVER READ IT BEFORE. you know those books of genius that sit on your shelf that you regret not giving a chance to, because a brilliant piece of writing was under your nose the whole time?? just waiting to be discovered?? that was this. there is this one passage in one of her short stories that read me like a book. it described my whole life. i was in shock. in shambles. I sent a video to three of my friends raving about how insightful of a writer she is. I think this is the perfect book to read in your 20s, as you try to figure out who you think you are. absolutely brilliant. I will read again.
