Today I read The Turkey Season and now must add it to the list of stories I would recommend. [My research online indicates that it is generally highly thought of -- makes sense that I would read it from a Munro volume entitled My Best Stories.]
I am finding that I want to only read one story of hers in a day, or perhaps two if they are widely separated. When I come to the end of one, rather than wanting to binge on ahead into the next one, I want to stop and digest the one I just finished. Just my observation.
Having now ready one, I find I concur with the entirety of your second paragraph. Ms. Munro's stories don't beat you over the head with A Point; they required mastication and cotigation.
