Educators in Canada and beyond are now rethinking her life and work following revelations that Munro declined to leave her husband after he had sexually assaulted and harassed her daughter.
For decades, Robert Lecker has read, taught and written about Alice Munro, the Nobel laureate from Canada renowned for her short stories. A professor of English at McGill University in Montreal, and author of numerous critical studies of Canadian fiction, he has thought of Munro as the “jewel” in the crown of her country's literature and source of some of the richest material for classroom discussion.
But Munro, after briefly leaving Fremlin, returned and remained with him until his death in 2013. She would explain to Skinner that she “loved him too much” to remain apart.When Munro died in May at age 92, she was celebrated worldwide for narratives that documented rare insight into her characters’ secrets, motivations, passions and cruelties, especially those of girls and women.
A former student of Lecker's, Kellie Elrick, says she is still figuring out how Munro should be taught and how to think of her work. Munro's stories have enriched her life, she says, and she doesn't regret reading them. Elrick, entering her fourth year at McGill, sees parallel narratives, “difficult to reconcile,” of “Munro the writer” and “Munro the mother.”
