Description

Alice Munro, one of the most acclaimed short-story writers of her generation, was born Alice Laidlaw, and recently began to research her Laidlaw ancestors from Scotland. The scraps of history and anecdote delighted her--particularly her discovery that every generation had at least one writer. Using these gleanings as inspiration, Munro began to write a series of semi-fictional stories about her kin that would become THE VIEW FROM CASTLE ROCK. The final stories feature both her father and herself as characters though the works remain an intoxicating blend of fact and fiction. According to Munro, the stories 'pay more attention to the truth of a life than fiction usually does. But not enough to swear on.' Of course, Munro's revered writing has always featured a singular faithfulness to the oddity of human experience. Still, her latest experiment shows that Munro's ambitions and art remain as sharp as ever.
