The Progress of Fiction

Alice Munro
taken from IMDB
I've always enjoyed Alice Munro's stories. They're about ordinary people, usually women, dealing with the circumstances of ordinary life. They're quiet stories, generally, with little to no "action," as we've come to think of it. The stories in her 1987 collection, The Progress of Love, are no exception.

However, having read these stories several months ago, I cannot recall a single one of them, though I do recall enjoying them. Maybe that's a good thing--the mark of a story that seems to be about people you know, that fades into the background of your life. I guess I'll have to read them again. I'm looking forward to it!😉
