Newswise — St. Lawrence University's Dr. Robert Thacker, professor of Canadian Studies, wrote the 2011 biography of literary great Alice Munro. For almost 30 years, Dr. Thacker researched this biography, steeping himself in Munro’s life and work, working with her co-operation to make it complete.
By following “the parallel tracks” of Alice Munro’s life and texts, Thacker gives a thorough and revealing account of both her life and work.
Thacker will be the keynote speaker at the Alice Munro Symposium, which will be held in May 2014 at the University of Ottawa as part of the annual Canadian Literature Symposium.
