A story that captures Munro's early (and late) style

Read the first three stories in Alice Munro's Selected Stories from circa 1996, so not really covering some of the greatest of her collections - but still - I was interested to see some of her first stories that she considered worth collecting in an anthology - like so many others in the U.S. I really didn't start reading her stories until the 1980s when they began appearing in the New Yorker and when I, as a books ed at the time, began being aware of some of the great short fiction (though at the time did not group her among Carver and the other highest luminaries). Anyway, first story in the collection, Walker Brothers Cowboy, is a great intro to her early work, or actually to any of her work, as in a very short space it touches on all of the or most of the Munro themes and techniques (not brought yet to full maturity and subtlety, however): the roaming structure or architecture of the story, first of all, in that it seems at first to be a story about a young girl walking through town with her father, then the focus shifts and it seems to be more about the relationship with the mother, then, when the father takes the two kids on one day of his rounds as a traveling salesman for Walker Brothers potions, the story seems to be about the dad as perceived by the 10-year-old daughter - and we have the feeling as in so many Munro stories of an ever-shifting perspective, the narrator like a flashlight beam in a darkened house illuminating things one at a time - or perhaps it's somewhat dreamlike, but much sharper and more insightful than a dream - will post more on this as I try to figure it out. Also, the Munro themes: family in remote Ontario down on luck after failed enterprise scheme (a fox farm - she has written much about this), the mother straining for a higher social status, the father having a better relation with the children, to the mother's jealous chagrin, the perceptive and mildly rebellious older daughter, the capturing of the small Canadian town life - a beautiful description here of the industrial shipping coast of Lake Huron, the move from country to town (interesting, it just occurs to me how similar that part of her life is to Updike's). The next two stories in collection are somewhat less typical: Dance in the Garden of Shades (?) pretty straight-ahead narrative for Munro but the story touches the notes she often plays of forced politeness to an elderly person who's a bit of an outsider - while the mother yearns for freedom or greater social status or both. Postcard is a good story of a woman betrayed by a flirtatious but insincere guy - but seems to be Murno's channeling of Welty or possibly O'Connor, capturing the wise guy voice of a put-upon, working-class woman, not typical of Munro in tone but well crafted.
