This book explores Munro's work from a full range of critical perspectives, focussing on three of her most popular and important published collections: \u003ci\u003eHateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), \u003ci\u003eRunaway \u003c\/i\u003e(2004), and her final collection \u003ci\u003eDear Life \u003c\/i\u003e(2012). With chapters written by the world's leading critics of Munro's work, the short story form and contemporary Canadian writing, this book explores such themes as love and marriage, sex, fate, gender and humor in her writings as well as her approaches to narrative form and autobiography. In these three late collections Munro sharply articulates, again and again, the mysteries of being itself.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRobert Thacker\u003c\/b\u003e is Charles A.
