This meant so much to me. Even while I can’t say that I have ever read anything by Alice Munro, seeing how much she meant to people has been so beautiful to witness.

Oh, that's lovely. I do so hope you find a story to read. I can recommend one if you like? The Bear Came Over the Mountain might be a good one, or else The Moons of Jupiter too x

I also thought of you when I heard about Alice Munro. I’m glad she is free and grateful for the stories she’s left behind. I think this substack is a tremendous honour to her memory and an on going tribute to her.

All my love!

that's so lovely. many people have said that to me too! I forgot to add that I had wanted to use a line from her story Dear Life as the epigraph in Playing Games, but we just could not hear from her for approval. I guess now we know why x

thank you and also likewise, it was so kind of you to think of me too. I hope she really did have some sense of how many people, readers and writers the world over, she moved.
