I got tired of doing battle with people thinking I was a little weird because I wasn't in a band making happy, stilted music.

I think what's interesting about Alice Munro, too, is the extreme mundanity of things. And how even a life reduced to complete mundanity, like capitalism taking over rural Ontario or whatever, has complete sway over aspects of life.
