Lecture 58: Alice Munro's Lives of Girls and Women

Dive in with Kimberly to more fully appreciate the ONLY NOVEL written by this Nobel-prize-winning master of prose. You don't have to be a girl, a women or Canadian to really love this tour de force. Listen in!

Great book! Great study of it too. I would love to see Munro get more attention

I'm glad you like it! I think she doesn't get quite the attention she deserves from the wider readership because of the short fiction thing? I mean, I personally really wish she had been able to write a NOVEl-novel (blasphemy, probably haha!). I'm also interested in these writers (like Munro) who are SO revered in academic and writerly circles but who aren't read more widely. I mean--it makes sense in some ways, but still. She really IS a writer's writer in lots of ways. You have good taste!
