Dear life

Dear Life: stories / Alice Munro 319 pgs.

Alice Munro is the queen of short stories and I've always enjoyed her work.  Alice is still fabulous but her stories are more about real people and things and less about ideas.  I do like the real people aspect and how easily it is to relate to many of them.  The story about the woman refilling her prescription is excellent as she is starting to have some problems remembering things.  The story of Jackson and Belle makes you wonder about the nature of relationships.  There is a reason that Alice Munro wins prizes and praise.  It is always a pleasure to read her work.
