Synopsis
Alice Munro, one of the most acclaimed short-story writers of her generation, was born Alice Laidlaw, and recently began to research her Laidlaw ancestors from Scotland. The scraps of history and anecdote delighted her--particularly her discovery that every generation had at least one writer. Using these gleanings as inspiration, Munro began to write a series of semi-fictional stories about her kin that would become THE VIEW FROM CASTLE ROCK. The final stories feature both her father and herself as characters though the works remain an intoxicating blend of fact and fiction. According to Munro, the stories "pay more attention to the truth of a life than fiction usually does. But not enough to swear on." Of course, Munro's revered writing has always featured a singular faithfulness to the oddity of human experience. Still, her latest experiment shows that Munro's ambitions and art remain as sharp as ever.

Publisher's Note
"An evocative and compelling compilation of short fiction by the award-winning author of The Love of a Good Woman and other works journeys from the Scotland of the author's own family heritage and a ship en route to the New World, to a family odyssey from Illinois to Canada and in and around Lake Huron. 150,000 first printing."

Industry reviews
"Ten collections of stories and one novel have made Alice Munro one of the most praised fiction writers of our time. In THE VIEW FROM CASTLE ROCK her full range of gifts is on display: indelible characters, deep insights about human behavior and relationships, vibrant prose, and seductive, suspenseful story telling."
 (09/25/2006)

"Alice Munro spins tales that show us, again and again, and with wondrous grace, how much can be done in a simple short story."
 (11/13/2006)

"Unbelievably good."
 (11/01/2006)
