Synopsis: A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection
The solution came to the writer one evening: she should have an office. From Nobel Laureate Alice Munro, a brilliantly executed and revelatory story—one of the earliest published works of her career—in which simply finding a place to write turns out to be the hardest act of all.
Alice Munro is the universally acclaimed master of the contemporary short story, the Chekhov of our time, and “The Office” sheds light on the process and growth of a beloved writer. A selection from Dance of the Happy Shades, Munro’s first collection.
