505 _a"Alice Munro's Miraculous Art presents a collection of essays on the Nobel laureate's writings, covering the entirety of Munro's career from the first stories in the early 1950s to her final works. The in-depth exploration of Munro's characteristic forms, themes, and most notable literary effects is complemented by Munro scholar and biographer Robert Thacker, who contributes a substantial bio-critical introduction to her career. This reappraisal of one of Canada's most celebrated authors will no doubt become an invaluable contribution to reading, teaching and appreciating Alice Munro's remarkable – indeed miraculous – oeuvre."
