Canadian writer Alice Munro (b. 1931) is practically unknown to the Russian-speaking reader. In 2010, in the “Translation Debut” section, the Foreign Literature magazine published a story by Alice Munro, translated by journalist Olga Adamenko. Does a physical defect affect a person’s destiny? How are such a person’s relationships with others built? Where is the line between kindness and hypocrisy? Alice Munro's story "The Face" is a story about people.
