The Essential Alice Munro

The only prerequisite for reading the Nobel laureate, a master of short stories, is: having lived. Here’s where to start.

 I imagined that the experience of reading her books, if I ever bothered to, would be like listening to classical music on fancy headphones in a college library: civilized, subtle, probably sleep-inducing.

But then I actually read Munro, and she lifted off my headphones in order to whisper an insane, unforgettable piece of gossip about that anxiety-stricken T.A. over by the copy machine.






"We sometimes draw a false equivalence between research advisers and mentors. And while many advisers are excellent mentors, it’s not exactly a prerequisite for running a lab. But it doesn’t have to be that way." #NationalMentoringMonth

The culture Higuchi and his colleagues have conjured from clay fragments bears little resemblance to the rice-based, Shinto and Buddhist ones that followed. Stone arrowheads and cultivating tools speak of a people who hunted and farmed mixed grains, while the ornate vessels, Higuchi believes, point to reverence for the waxing and waning moon as a symbol of rebirth.

“They saw death as the prerequisite for new life,” Higuchi told me. Circles and spirals, and even frogs and snakes, all symbolized rebirth (frogs because they were associated with the moon; snakes because they emerge alive from hibernation each spring). Most traces of that culture are gone, but Higuchi suggested that today’s autumn moon-viewing parties may be a lone exception.



But his unrivalled access was actually the result of a combination of hard work and hardball. He had the requisite friends in high places—LBJ even hosted a reception for his wedding—but those friends also found their tongues loosened by the knowledge that you were either “a source or a target”.

In an interview with Knowledge@Wharton, Assouline spoke about why conditions in China are ripe for real estate development, and how partnering with the world's fastest-growing economy may be a requisite for survival in the current economic downturn.



Despite China's remarkable economic growth, it's hard to think of an international Chinese consumer-goods brand, perhaps other than white-goods manufacturer Haier. The answer may be to buy in the requisite marketing savvy or link up with a leading foreign company, as juice maker China Huiyuan wants to do with Coca-Cola.Meanwhile, Western brands such as Nike and Adidas are making a big push in China. Even if Li Ning can achieve a price advantage, the foreign firms' bold marketing expertise could help them make up ground.
