Munro, Alice; 1996-11-07
No full textBiography: Alice Ann Munro (born 10 July 1931) is a Canadian short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Munro\u27s work has been described as having revolutionized the architecture of short stories, especially in its tendency to move forward and backward in time. Her stories have been said to embed more than announce, reveal more than parade.
Munro\u27s fiction is most often set in her native Huron County in southwestern Ontario. Her stories explore human complexities in an uncomplicated prose style. Munro\u27s writing has established her as one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction , or, as Cynthia Ozick put it, our Chekhov. Munro is the recipient of many literary accolades, including the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature for her work as master of the contemporary short story , and the 2009 Man Booker International Prize for her lifetime body of work. She is also a three-time winner of Canada\u27s Governor General\u27s Award for fiction and was the recipient of the Writers\u27 Trust of Canada\u27s 1996 Marian Engel Award, as well as the 2004 Rogers Writers\u27 Trust Fiction Prize for Runaway.

A politics of location : subjectivity and origins in the work of Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro and Margaret Atwood.
No full textPhDThis thesis attempts to discover the links between concepts of
identity and origins, and Canadian women's writing.
The work of three English-speaking Canadian women writers,
Mavis Gallant, Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro, will be
examined in order to discover the ways in which their writings
problematize feminine subjecthood, and in doing so shed light on
a specifically Canadian 'discourse' of identity. I posit thereby, that
perceiving the absences and silences structuring their modes of
representation is a (symbolic) means of perceiving Canada as a
dualistic, fractured, and contradictory unity. This implies a
dialogue between text and context: a reading of one through the
other.
The three writers in question draw on diverse, and often
opposing, centres of cultural and personal consciousness. I shall
attempt to demonstrate however, that the problematical concept
of origins and its relation to location and to feminine self-hood
defines all three. To do so I have chosen those texts, whether
novel or short story, which to my mind best articulate the social,
cultural and symbolic discourses informing the definition
'English-speaking Canadian Women's writing'. Other works not
included would undoubtedly have proved of interest, but the
type of 'close reading' which such themes required entailed an
automatic limitation on the range of fiction under scrutin
Passion in the Afternoon: Alice Munro's "Beyond the Pale"
No full textNel racconto "Passion" come in altre sue famose narrazioni brevi la scrittrice canadese Alice Munro tocca il tema dell'amore tra membri di classi sociali diverse. Nel "democratico" Canada contemporaneo riaffiorano pregiudizi e censure legate alle origini culturali ed etniche, come la differenza tra inglesi e scozzesi. Amore,sesso e matrimonio fungono da cartina di tornasole per tali diversità e discriminazioni

'Looking Back with Alice Munro'
No full textIn ‘Walker Brothers Cowboy’, the young narrator, walking with her father on the shores of Lake Huron, struggles to imagine a time before and after her own lifespan. At the end of the 20th century, she thinks, she will be ‘barely alive’. When Alice Munro wrote those words, she was already in her mid-thirties, an author of short stories in small circulation literary magazines. In 2015, she is indeed, as the narrator puts it, ‘old, old’; but she is a Nobel prize winner, feted by her peers. What happened in between those years, and why is Alice Munro so important a figure in world literature? How does Dance of the Happy Shades reveal her abiding themes and her distinctive approach to the short story form? And how do we re-evaluate those stories from a 21st century perspective

Exploración de un género literario, los relatos breves de Alice Munro
No full textEl relato breve es un apasionante género de ficción que nos devuelve la experiencia en forma de momentos aislados que adquieren un alto poder de intensidad y sugestión al verse desconectados de un contexto explicado en detalle. Este libro está dedicado a investigar los fundamentos ideológicos y técnicos tanto del relato breve como de una forma narrativa afín, el "ciclo de relatos", a través de la obra de una de las autoras más representativas del panorama literario canadiense actual: Alice Munro.
Alice Munro, nacida en 1931 en Ontario (Canadá), ha sido merecedora en tres ocasiones del premio literario más importante en su país, el Governor General¿s Award, y es considerada como una de las autoras más representativas del panorama literario canadiense. Sus relatos nos ofrecen mundos cargados de magia y de desolación, en los que sus protagonistas femeninas hacen frente a situaciones inexplicables o inquietantes.
La autora del presente libro nos invita a reflexionar sobre la forma en que la ficción literaria ordena y proyecta nuestras experiencias. Asimismo, ofrece una aproximación al trabajo artístico de una autora cuya obra se enmarca dentro una literatura llena de atractivas posibilidades y relativamente desconocida en nuestro país
