Litsy

so-so

Choosing a book just because the author has won the Nobel Prize for literature is not always easy.
And this may not be the most significant.. 🤷‍♀️

Ruthiella I‘ve only read one collection from her and found it OK. Short stories aren‘t really my bag, however. 2y

Something I've Been Meaning To Tell You | Alice Munro

Tutte le nostre liti si mescolano, perché di fatto sono eterne repliche della stessa lite, in cui ci puniamo a vicenda - io a furia di parole e Hugh di silenzi - di essere quello che siamo. Non ci è mai servito altro.
Lui è l‘unica persona che non mi dispiacerebbe veder soffrire. Non mi dispiacerebbe vederlo estratto dal mucchio, con la faccia imperlata del sudore della sofferenza.

I‘m still basking in the afterglow of these stories and have nothing intelligible to say except they‘re breathtaking and I need to read a lot more #AliceMunro, especially if these aren‘t her best, as I‘ve heard. 💗 #DearLife #shortstories #nobelprize

Kammbia1 I don't read a lot of short stories. But I came across this collection in my local library and started reading “Haven“. I really liked it and will be reading more of Alice Munro. 5y
