Wonderful video! I have all of her collections, read a few of the later ones many years ago but then started from the beginning to do it ‘properly’! And at the same time reading Trevor’s and Betsy’s wonderful reviews of each story which has so helped to enrich my reading (many thanks Trevor). I finished Open Secrets last month so I must be about half way through! The Jack Randa Hotel - oh boy!
What a wonderful panel! Thank you for convening this thoughtful panel discussion of the fantastic Alice Munro. Another terrific Shawn video! And you’re wearing one of my favourites of your blouses!
Lovely discussion! I have not read that many Alice Munro’s collection but the stories I have read I have really liked. She does know how to tell a good story within a couple of pages.
The woman blamed her 9 year old child for being sexually abused by her second husband, who also sexually abused other children. There is a piece in the Toronto Star about it.
