Selected Stories

This first-ever selection of Alice Munro's stories sums up her genius. Her territory is the secrets that cackle beneath the façade of everyday lives, the pain and promises, loves and fears of apparently ordinary men and women whom she renders extraordinary and unforgettable.

Covering the first half of Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro''s career, these are some of the best, most touching and powerful short stories ever written.

‘Munro can pack more into one of her stories - more subtlety, more grace, more tender twists of the human heart - than many novelists do’ Independent

This first-ever selection of Alice Munro''s stories sums up her genius. Her territory is the secrets that cackle beneath the façade of everyday lives, the pain and promises, loves and fears of apparently ordinary men and women whom she renders extraordinary and unforgettable.

This volume brings together the best of Munro''s stories, from 1968 through to 1994. The second selected volume of her stories, 1995-2009 is also published by Vintage Classics.

‘Few writers capture the moral ambiguities, murkiness, messiness - and joy - of relationships with as much empathy and grace as Munro’ Guardian
