Feel kind of bad that she got a subconscious childhood attraction to British men. What a wretched nation of people.

Dear life: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Honestly a really nice end to the collection. Feels like the Dear Life piece really sheds some light on the rest of the collection. I’m just not sure exactly where the line between the autobiographical fiction and autobiographical creative nonfiction lies.

I often have thoughts like this when I’m driving. It would just be so easy to run one of them over like in gta.

I’m just not sure how this constitutes a separate section of the book. Are all the stories not semi-autobiographical?

The message here is no matter how old you get, or how bad you want to kill yourself, it’s worth it to keep going because everything will always be dumb and funny.

I often feel like Nancy in that I have no idea what day it is or what’s happening or who anyone is.

Alice Munro’s writing is kind of like life. Things happen and you either catch them or don’t. Then they pass you by.

Corrie: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
She’s so good at writing mundane, melancholic drama. Also starting to think there may be some religious themes going over my head.

So Alice Munro’s strength is writing temporal things. Adults remembering things from childhood, people aging, etc.
