{"product_id":"alice-munro-mary-ellen-snodgrass-9781476699820","title":"Alice Munro: A Literary Companion","description":"\u003cp\u003e Author Alice Munro (1931-2024) solved one of the conundrums of science--how to quantify what happens in human interaction. She wrote 14 collections of stories and stand-alone narratives based on matter-of-fact observation and evaluation of unfathomable consequences, relying on simplicity and a lack of affectation. This book explores 188 works of a Canadian prodigy via 100 A-to-Z topics surveying her story collections, book introductions, and essays. Generous commentary by literary critics and journalists offer a range of opinions about Munro's style and subject matter. Entries highlight the intangibles--parenting, achievers, sex, women, feminism, coming of age--alongside historical themes of World War II, health, religion, and Ontario. This unique companion provides the most complete treatment of the Canadian writer to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Ellen Snodgrass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476699828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476699820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Mary Ellen Snodgrass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454200197375,"sku":"9781476699820","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee7d9052-0787-44cf-a233-0cc746231291.jpg?v=1777304773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alice-munro-mary-ellen-snodgrass-9781476699820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
