Although her early years were clouded by pressure to produce a novel, Alice Munro never embraced the genre, sticking with the short-story format she excelled in.
Munro's method of cross-referencing stories and continuing themes and characters across collections, as seen in works like The Beggar Maid and the Juliet stories, set her apart in the genre.
Munro was more radical than likened to Chekhov and Maupassant, consistently challenging readers with unexpected character actions and intertwining multiple narrative strands within tales.
