RIP to Alice Munro:
www.theguardian.com
I've only read Lives of Girls and Women, and can't really remember much about it other than a vague memory that it influenced me to try rum and ginger beer but that may be a misremembering, but been revisiting some bits I noted down from it while reading and I'm struck by how good it is:
If we had been older we would certainly have hung on, haggled over the price of reconciliation, explained and justified and perhaps forgiven, and carried this into the future with us, but as it was were close enough to childhood to believe in the absolute serious and finality of some fights, unforgivability of some blows. We had seen in each other what we could not bear, and we had no idea that people do see that, and go on, and hate and fight and try to kill each other, various ways, then love some more.
Here's what Miranda July reckons about her, anyway:
Alice Munro, Nobel winner and titan of the short story, dies aged 92
Acclaimed for her accounts of the darkness and desire found in everyday life, ‘the Canadian Chekhov’ has died, having suffered from dementia for more than a decade
