- Alice Munro, “The Office”

From Nobel Laureate Alice Munro, "The Office” is a brilliantly executed and revelatory story—one of the earliest published works of her career—in which one woman’s simply finding a place to write turns out to be the hardest act of all.

Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

“Kristin Wiig’s turn as a dowdy caretaker is the highlight of this contemporary American take on Cinderella.” — The Hollywood Reporter”

“Liza Johnson makes fine, steady progress with this delicate and absorbing character study starring Kristen Wiig."— Variety


In the her tenth collection (the title story of which is the basis for the new film “Hateship Loveship”), Alice Munro achieves new heights, creating narratives that loop and swerve like memory, and conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves. A tough-minded housekeeper jettisons the habits of a lifetime because of a teenager’s practical joke. A college student visiting her brassy, unconventional aunt stumbles on an astonishing secret and its meaning in her own life. An incorrigible philanderer responds with unexpected grace to his wife’s nursing-home romance. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best, tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane. Read an excerpt here: http://ow.ly/vBcde
