She wrote 14 collections of stories and stand-alone narratives based on matter-of-fact observation and evaluation of unfathomable consequences, relying on simplicity and a lack of affectation. This book explores 188 works of a Canadian prodigy via 100 A-to-Z topics surveying her story collections, book introductions, and essays. Generous commentary by literary critics and journalists offer a range of opinions about Munro's style and subject matter. Entries highlight the intangibles--parenting, achievers, sex, women, feminism, coming of age--alongside historical themes of World War II, health, religion, and Ontario. This unique companion provides the most complete treatment of the Canadian writer to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland and Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592281768087,"sku":"9781476699820","price":4658.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476699820.webp?v=1774977124","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alice-munro-a-literary-companion-9781476699820","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
