Thank You For Visiting [TRADE PAPER ]

Thank You for Visiting: Essays on Alice Munro's Works III, the third volume of essays issued by Guernica Editions in honour of Munro reveals, like the earlier collectionsAlice Munro CountryandAlice Munro Everlasting, how critical writing can be not only as perceptive but also as personal as the stories it studies. Featured here are new works by Munros most distinguished critics  including Catherine Sheldrick Ross, J.R. (Tim) Struthers, Robert Thacker  along with other uniquely exciting contributions such as Munros Canadian publisher Douglas Gibsons investigation of the ever-so-close backgrounds three centuries ago in Scotland of the ancestors of both Alice Munro and Robertson Davies.

J.R. (TIM) STRUTHERS has edited some thirty volumes of theory, criticism, autobiography, short stories, and poetry. Among these titles are his two collections for Guernica Editions on Clark Blaise, then his three collections for Guernica Editions on Alice Munro, and now this book in honour of Len Gasparini. Tim has been publishing on Canadian literature for some fifty years, beginning, in 1975, with the first two scholarly articles worldwide on Alice Munro and including, in 2024, the critically and formally innovative co-authored study?Reading Alice Munros Breakthrough Books: A Suite in Four Voices. Like writers James Reaney and Alice Munro and Len Gasparini, Tim was born and raised in Southwestern Ontario, where he still happily resides, now writing and editing and publishing full-time following a fifty-year career of university teaching.
