Alice Munro is a particular kind of short story writer in that she writes long, character-driven short stories. Nell Freudenberger

My favorite writer is Alice Munro. It's simply amazing how well she captures entire lifetimes in a single short story. Chloe Benjamin
I think the few writers who influenced me most in writing short stories are Alice Munro and Grace Paley. They're very different, and I can't do what they do, but reading them gives me hope that I'll learn something from them. Nell Freudenberger
