Alice Munro’s
THE MOONS OF JUPITER

“Of all the writers at work in the field today, few can move us as deeply as Alice Munro. The Moons of Jupiter, her fourth collection, is a triumph of sentiment over sentimentality.”

Newsweek

“From [Munro’s] naturalistic, classically composed short stories there rises a melodic line that catches at the heart with its freshness. In her seemingly effortless prose style, Munro has etched portraits of people living underground dramas of high intensity. Writing about ordinary life is hazardous; it may induce the boredom that is its subject. Munro defies the danger, and triumphs.”

Time

“Alice Munro’s fine and intelligent stories are like Edward Hopper paintings, lit with a relentless clarity, and richly illuminating the perplexities of human connections, their possibilities and pain.”

Washington Post Book World

“Witty, subtle, passionate, [ The Moons of Jupiter is] exceptionally knowledgeable about the content and movement—the entanglements and entailments—of individual human feeling. And the knowledge it offers can’t be looked up elsewhere. A gifted evoker of place … is also an uncommonly powerful summoner of passionate physical encounter.”

The New York Times Book Review

“Munro is mindful of space, and her preoccupation with this, whether real or metaphorical, is echoed in her elegant prose where each word seems surrounded with a peculiar space of its own. Not the least of her gifts is a delicate, illuminating precision of language. Alice Munro often articulates the barely perceptible and her voice shows tremendous assurance. She creates and sustains moods with an almost magical exhilaration, giving us characters true and memorable. One finishes this book and immediately misses it: that’s how good Alice Munro is.”

Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Lovers of the art of the short story will rejoice.… Munro has deftly lifted the blinders from our eyes for a peek at the not so mysterious forces that determine our relationships with the world. A writer of crystal clarity and stunning word craft, Ms. Munro is undoubtedly one of Canada’s finest exports. The Moons of Jupiter is a stellar effort.”

Kansas City Star

“A major talent is at work here; beyond the frustration and bitterness of social movements, Munro operates in the larger company where each heart must thump by itself.”

Los Angeles Times

“Alice Munro … writes of her brave, vulnerable women in a clear-eyed unsentimental way. Although many of her stories are bleak and somber, her writing is so sharp and brilliant that it lights up the imagination and makes this work an absolute joy to read.”
