"It was later than one o'clock when the truck came back. The tarpaulin was over the back, which meant there was meat in it. My mother had to heat dinner up all over again. Henry and my father had changed from their bloody overalls into ordinary working overalls in the barn, and they washed arms and necks and faces at the sink, and splashed water on their hair and combed it. Laird lifted his arm to show off a streak of blood. "We shot old Flora," he said, "and cut her up in fifty pieces."
"Well I don't want to hear about it," my mother said. "And don't come to my table like that." "

Sounds like Steinbeck with the mood of Faulkner. Not bad by any means but nothing spectacular if you ask me

Because it’s boring ass literature for middle aged canadian hockey moms. Never had an unique idea in her entire writing life.

Pic related is overkill. Even among female writers, we have Christine Schutt, Amy Hempel, Lydia Davis, Garielle Lutz who are all better than Munro at the art of sentence.
