All biographical approaches to the work of Alice Munro must be revised to wreckon with her covering up her 2nd husband's admitted (convicted) sexual abuse of Munro's daughter. The story is horrifying, the reporting scalding: www.thestar.com/news/in-the-...
In the home of Alice Munro, a dark secret lurked. Now, her children want the world to knowwww.thestar.com Alice Munro's husband sexually assaulted her youngest daughter. For nearly five decades, a conspiracy of silence haunted the family, and at times, tore them apart.

(Yes, I misspelled "reckon" as "wreckon". Not entirely inappropriate as misspellings go...)

Reading the article, it was all so depressingly similar to How Many Other Victim Stories? Ugh...

It's all so damn awful but when I got to the part where he wrote a letter admitting it and *still* walked around with total impunity for decades...

More than disappointing, she sounds like she was an awful person, period. All the way around.

Oh, there are a lot more words I want to use. I’m extremely upset that I’m only hearing this now. This poor woman has had to spend her whole life watching her mother be adored. Aaaaaaahhhh!
