What Would Alice Munro Do?
By
Curtis Sittenfeld

There are a lot of writers I admire and books I love, but the gratitude I feel to Munro is unique; I truly think my life has been better because of the stories she’s written. At a visceral level, reading her work has brought me great pleasure — it’s just so juicy in its depictions of people leading their lives. It also has taught me, by example, about writing in the most intelligent and specific way I can, without vanity. And it has shown me that in my ostensibly weird or unattractive feelings, I am hardly alone.
