	Canadian Literary Archives - Alice Munro Biocritical
		Munro's labours in multiplying drafts can be seen as an effort to strike a viable balance between the sense of profit and of loss involved in Del's adoption of her new literary strategy.
		Munro's own testimony is that the story is autobiographical; the protagonist's dilemma in having to choose between "making a proper story" of her mother's illness and wanting "to bring back all I could" may reflect the author's own quandary.
		Munro also ventures into new territory in other ways: George, the sculptor of Hungarian descent is one of the few explicitly non-WASP characters in her fiction; the story is about the strategies of people playing at country living, rather than about the habits of country people.

	Alice Munro
		Blodgett points out that Munro's stories is actually a "discovery procedure" that invites readers to find the truth with her; he believes that "the registers of truth, falsehood, art, feigning, legend, fantasy, and hearsay combine in various ways to make the reader continually ponder how something is known and understood" (7).
		Munro's heroines in her early short stories resemble her own experience: the girl, growing from a poor family in southwestern rural Ontario town, seems to be certain about who she is and what she wants to do all along the story, but she always turns out to unsure and begins to seek her identity.
		Munro amazes the critics with her astute scrutiny over trifles in life and then her meticulous pictorial about the experiences, adventures, retrospect and the quest of the protagonists.

	The Lamp in the Mausoleum - The New York Review of Books
		According to Alice Munro's biographer, Robert Thacker, the source of her literary power is grounded in a deep family connection to southwest Ontario, where she was born in 1931 to a farmer called Robert Laidlaw and his wife Anne.
		Munro's late flowering as an author, for Robert Thacker, is largely the result of her return to Ontario in 1973 after the breakup of her first marriage and over twenty years of "exile" in British Columbia.
		She once told Sheila Munro that as a child she "knew that it was very, very important never to brag, never to reveal the extent of one's ambition, never to seem better than anybody else." When she has won a prize or published a story she still does not usually mention it.

	Munro, Alice
		Characteristic of Munro's style is the search for some revelatory gesture by which an event is illuminated and given personal significance (photo by Jerry Baker).
		Alice Munro was born and spent her early years in western Ontario farming country.
		The strength of her fiction arises partially from its vivid sense of regional focus, most of her stories being set in Huron County, Ont, as well as from her sense of the narrator as the intelligence through which the world is articulated.

	Alice Munro
		Munro points out that there are many forces at work, shaping our lives and relationships, and we cannot see them all unless we place one event next to another - almost like a list - and see that they all influence one another.
		Munro was making me think very hard about something, what I'm not quite sure, but she wasn't letting me in on the secret, that was for me to figure out.
		Munro builds on these notions, adds to them, fleshes them out, but her style is so complex and complete that the reader, upon reading one or two of these short sentences, can instantly recognize vital clues to a character's makeup and inspiration, perhaps without having consciously perceiving the same up to that point.

	Clan MUNRO
		The possessions of the clan Monro or Munro, situated on the north side of Cromarty Firth, were generally know in the Highlands by the name of Fearrann Donull or Donald's country, being so called, it is said, from the progenitor of the clan, Donald the son of O'Ceann, who lived in the time of Macbeth.
		With the Mackenzies the Munroes were often at feud, and Andrew Munro of Milntown defended, for three years, the castle of the canonry of Ross, which he had received from the Regent Moray in 1569, against the clan Kenzie, at the expense of many lives on both sides.
		Robert Munro of Foulis, the eighth laird, who was in tutelage at the time of this conflict, and was slain in an obscure skirmish in 1369, married a niece of Euphemia, daughter of the Earl of Ross and second wife of King Robert II.

	Alice Munro's Runaway. - By Meghan O'Rourke - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Alice Munro is one of the best-selling short-story writers in North America, a remarkable feat for a writer who is renowned above all for her astonishing subtlety.
		Munro's decision to construct "Tricks" out of the tinder of contrivance is in this way well-earned: At the end of a life, she suggests, the "realism" and the "naturalism" we believe accurately describe our experience of the world are undermined by the strange theatricality of facing death, which radically alters the outlines of the world.
		A writer with Munro's storytelling intelligence is testing limits, not succumbing to them, when she reminds us that fiction is, in the first place, a bag of tricks.

		Alice Munro's superb new collection contains stories about women of all ages and circumstances, from a young woman who wants to leave her husband and a country girl who takes a job at a resort hotel to a woman who can foresee the future and its consequences.
		In perhaps her boldest collection to date, short story master Munro evokes the vagaries of love, the tension and deceit that lie in wait under the polite surfaces of society, and the strange, often comical desires of the human heart.
		In her latest collection of stories, Munro evokes the devastating power of old love suddenly recollected, in tales that resonate with sorrow, humor, and wisdom, and confirm her reputation as a living master of the genre.

	Fiction Authors in Depth - Alice Munro - Meyer Literature
		Munro was born into a family of farmers on July 10, 1931, in the small rural town of Wingham, Ontario.
		Her fictional world ranges across the breadth of Canada from Ontario to British Columbia, but most readers agree that her Ontario stories, rooted as they are in her own formative past, represent more evocative settings experienced in childhood and recollected by a perceptive adult memory.
		Del works hard to portray not only what is actually "real" about the town, but what is meaningfully "true," and in order to do so she must capture the dull, ordinary simplicity of her neighbors’ daily lives.

		Neil Munro was born in the little town of Inveraray near the head of Loch Fyne in Argyll, an area of exceptional beauty which was to influence him all his life.
		He was born to Ann Munro, a kitchen maid, perhaps at Inveraray Castle, in the building known as Crombie's Land on 3rd June 1863.
		Neil Munro's most accomplished novel, however, and also his last, was The New Road (1914) where, not surprisingly after the disappointment of Fancy Farm, we find him returning to the historical genre.

		Munro's world is a lost and lonely place, and be forewarned--none of these stories promises a happy ending.
		Since Munro is interested in the intimacy of her characters, what her reader gets is a deep look in the interior of this character throughout the years - and how her opinions and convictions change.

	Alice Munro: The Short Answer - Alex Keegan - Eclectica Magazine v2n5
		There is a nagging suspicion that Munro has been writing one huge novel, an opus of her life (not unlike much of Updike's almost autobiographical work) but simply leaving out the cement, the bridges from incident to incident.
		Munro is hard work, she is wearing, because she chooses to add depth and width, to flash back and forward, to cross-reference to other stories, other incidents to tease with her little asides.
		That Munro carries this onward - she smells the doctor's lunch as she undergoes the abortion - is brilliant, expanding the idea, reinforcing and repeating the image.

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: Border country: Alice Munro blurs the lines in a remarkable new collection
		Now, in her astonishing new collection, Munro delves into the past in a more methodical way, drawing partly on research she's done into her father's Scottish ancestry and partly on her recollection of family events over her own lifetime.
		The second, "Home," segues into Munro's memories of her parents, schoolmates and neighbors in Wingham, Ontario, where she was born in 1931, then leads up to the point in her life when she starts looking into her family's earlier history, thus allowing the book to come full circle.
		The Laidlaws of the late-18th and early-19th centuries, Munro discovers, had the writing bug (James Hogg, author of "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner," was a Laidlaw cousin), and Munro takes advantage of this, building her stories around their surviving letters and journals.
