3 Alice Munro Quotes on Storytelling

Alice Munro quotes on storytelling

1. 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.

2. Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.

8. Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story.
