Alice Munro is a
contemporary author who has inspired her readers with short stories for over twenty
years. Georgeann
Murphy says about Munro that “she has enjoyed, perhaps more than any of her
contemporaries, a consistently high degree of both popular and critical
success, inspiring more book-length studies of her work than she has published
books” (12). Munro’s writings deal with
the everyday person which keeps her readers interested because she is dealing
with easily relatable characters.
