▲Media Recommendation
The greatest events are hidden in the human heart, and the heaviest pain is hidden in words. A short story often spans decades and outlines a person's life. Alice Munro presents something in 30 pages that ordinary writers need 300 pages to explain. She is an expert in concise writing and a contemporary master of short stories. - Peter Enlund, Secretary of the Nobel Prize for Literature Committee, 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature Award Speech
.
Alice Munro is one of the most important writers in contemporary English literature. Even among these writers, her name is highly respected. - Margaret Atwood
.
Generations will continue to study and enjoy this "Family Heirloom." It is an excellent introduction for those who have never read her work. --National Public Radio
.
Alice Munro's writing career may be drawing to a close, but her stories, like works of art, remain ever-changing. Even if you've read some of the stories in Heirlooms, they still offer surprises, big and small. --The New York Times
.
"Family Heirlooms" is a profound and constantly surprising collection of works. The people and things in the story are common in family life, and only in a few moments are they full of drama, but they have the weight of life and death. - Los Angeles Times
