Who's reading Fiction by Alice Munro?
What do you think Munro is saying about the nature of fiction and the place it has in our lives?

Wow, that's a good question! I have loved her for 20 years. What do you think?

Munro makes you think, like a stone rippling out on a pond. My first response was we never know how what we do has unintended consequences...but your ? made me reflect. Fiction and life are so interwoven ( other peoples perceptions/perspectives even if they don't know you like the little girl in the story) and how this indirectly impacts on all of us, that it is pervasive. Great question!

In reading, as in movies, I love a story that makes you THINK. In this story, told in several time frames, made me think long after I had read it. I thought it was excellent.
PS, as for the post script note, "this is the last installment, you're done, who-hoo!", I thought "boo hoo!" but then I realized, the story had been told. GOOD READ!Mar 10, 2010 11:42 am
