Alice Munr� is new
writer in residence
A University of Western On-
tario drop-out has returned to
campus this year as Writer in
Residence.
The celebrated drop-out. is
Alice Munro, one of Canada's
most talented and successful
short story authors. As Writer in
Residence she'll be available to
talk about her craft and give
assistance to developing writers.
"It seems strange to be back
here in the same building I took.
classes in during 1950 and 1951,"
she said. During those two years
her first short stories were
published and since then her
work has appeared in "The
.Canadian Forum", "The
Tamarack Review", "The
Montrealer" and "Chatelaine".
Born and raised in the rural
town of Wingham, later to
become the scene of many of her
short stories, Ms. Munro left
home to attend Western, first in
Journalism and later in English.
In 1%1 she married and moved to
Vancouver, then to Victoria,
where she and her husband
to ed a _successful dontown
bookstore. r k
Her first book of stories,
"Dance of the Happy ,Shades"
(1968), won, the Governor -
General's Award for fiction. Her
first novel, "Lives of Girls and
Women" (1971) , won the
Canadian Booksellers
Association International Book
Year Award.
The critically acclaimed
collection of short stories entitled
"Something I've Been Meaning
To Tell You", published this year,
is her most recent work. While at
Western the 43 -year-old Ms.
Munro will also be working on her
fourth book.
In expressing his praise of Ms.
Munro, English Department
Chairman Tom Collins said:
"Creative writing is not offered
as a course at Western, and both
Alice and I agree it shouldn't be.
Creative writing can't be taught;
it has to .be learned . by doing.
Alice's main function will be to
talk to students about their work
and, in finding a Writer in
Residence who is skilled in both
the short \story and the novel,
Western is extremely fortunate."
