Produktbeschreibung

The main objective of this research is to analyze, from the point of view of narratology, three short stories: "The Peace of Utrecht", "Meneseteung" and "Fiction", present, respectively, in the collections Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), Friend of my Youth (1991) and Too Much Happiness (2009), by the contemporary Canadian writer Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, whose freshly written short stories are characterized by open-ended endings, contain realistic descriptions of southwestern Ontario, and portray familiar scenes that facilitate the introduction of the strange, the mysterious, the unknown and even the fantastic. This union of the familiar and the strange creates a sense of irony and double observation in relation to places and people, allowing us to explore the Canadian struggle with identity that is evident in the writer.
