The good thing about short stories collections is, you can dip in and out. I remember reading a single story from a Flannery O'Connor collection ("A Good Man is Hard to Find", I think) before deciding that a) she's absolutely great, b) I'll get to the rest of it another time.
I absolutely loved this chapter when I read your book. Thanks to you, I revisited Munro's work with fresh eyes and fell in love with it.
This is beautifully written. Mixed feeling though about adding to my unmanageable to read list…
