Munro’s works and her life
• In her earlier stories, she focuses on the dilemmas of a girl coming of age and coming to terms with her family and the small town she grew up in. In her later works, she has shifted her focus to the travails of middle age, of women alone and of the elderly. • Her stories are notn “emotional reality” for her characters that are drawn from her own life. Munro’s life experiences of growing up in relatively poor provincial southwestern Ontario town during the depression, going through the rebelliousness and idealism of adolescence, discovering sex, leaving home, falling in love, getting married, having children, getting divorced, and getting along in a variety of complicated relationships, all inform the fiction she creates.
