Alice Munro / I like looking at people's lives / Quote

I LIKE LOOKING AT PEOPLE´S LIVES
by Alice Munro
BIOGRAPHY


I like looking at people’s lives over a number of years without continuity. Like catching them in snapshots. And I like the way people relate, or don’t relate, to the people they were earlier.... I think this is why I’m not drawn to writing novels. Because I don’ see that people develop and arrive somewhere. I just see people living in flashes. From time to time.
