The Short Stories of Alice Munro: An Evaluation

Author Name: Dr. Prof Ashok Sachdeva | Format: Paperback | Genre : Educational & Professional | Other Details

The book is academic in character and useful for postgraduate students, PhD scholars, and researchers. It attempts to lay bare the pervasive societal restraints in Canadian culture and how those constraints influence humans in general and women in particular. Various sociological and psychological research has demonstrated that humans are products of society's social, economic, political, and cultural institutions and that these institutions have a limited impact on our lives in every particular society.

This book attempts to analyse the different issues that underpin Alice Munro's short stories, as well as to document how social conditioning and glorification of the image of women have caused them to internalise the limited position that has been assigned to them. Munro's stories are so full of emotional honesty, compassion, and intimacy that readers recognise their true selves in them. Her stories are referred to as "compressed novels," as they contrast the past with the present and one point of view with another. Though her stories reveal the surface facts of life, she does so in such a way that commonplace things become vital, illuminating, and imbued with a kind of magic.
