This book is incredible. Not usually a fan of short stories, nor American writers. But Alice Munro is Canadian and these short tales of various aspects of life are superb. Some stories were so intense I had to put the book down for a while. A fit man who develops Motor Neurone disease in particular. Acutely observed and described yet not in that pompous condescending way that irritates me so much about Ian MacEwan.
