This talk will take up the crucial significance of Wingham and Huron County in Munro’s imagination. More than most writers, Munro’s Home Place (Wright Morris’s phrase, she acknowledges) — its details, its textures, its mores, its landscapes, and its geology — is key to her accomplishment. Tracing this from her early work on, and detailing the importance of her 1973-75 return to Ontario and Huron County from British Columbia — I will try to define her creation of “Alice Munro Country.”
BROWN BAG LUNCH included: Croissant with Metzger's ham, Pine River Havarti and Beer Mustard. Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cupcake. Grape Kombuca. Gluten-free and Vegetarian Options available. Lunches prepared by Cait's Kitchen. Please advise of any dietary restrictions when you purchase tickets.
