In October 2013, Canadian writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize in Literature. A seemingly perennial candidate, Munro, now in her eighties, looks back to forty years of literary production. During this time, Munro has been rather single-mindedly concerned with one literary genre, the short story. In addition to this distinctiveness, Munro's work is firmly located in the geographical, historical, social and cultural spaces of Canada.
In this class, we will both explore the genre "short fiction" and Munro's narrative imagination of Canada.
