| Publisher Description: This rich volume begins with a major new essay by renowned short story critic and theorist Charles E. May, Returning to the Source: Alice Munro, Flannery O?Connor, and Eudora Welty, followed by a major new essay by one of Munro's most long-standing and most perceptive readers, Catherine Sheldrick Ross, identifying and examining the major concerns which Munro has revisited so compellingly for the duration of her astonishing career. Overall, the twenty contributions to Alice Munro Everlasting take an ardently literary approach, with each essay focussing -- uniquely amongst studies of any short story writer -- on the last stories in Munro's fourteen volumes from Dance of the Happy Shades to Dear Life. Along with distinguished contributions by many other long-time readers of Munro, including a major new essay by J.R. (Tim) Struthers on Munro's novella Powers, this volume features, and finishes with, a major new essay by her celebrated biographer Robert Thacker on the four-part series of stories |
