Description
Beginning with her earliest, uncollected stories, W.R. Martin critically examines Alice Munro's writing career. He discusses influences on Munro and presents an overview of the prominent features of her art: the typical protagonist, the development of her narrative technique, and the dialectic that involves paradoxes and parallels.

Editorial Reviews
“Martin seems to define just where Munro’s art was then as it continued to gain complexity but, more significant, he foresaw just where she was heading … That he did so in the middle of her publishing career, just as considerable critical attention was beginning to burgeon, and when the sustained complexity of late Munro was emerging, shows a singular critical acuity.”
