Courtney Jackson Leigh Dillard ENGL 1102 April 16, 2002 Alice Munro Writing can often be considered a reflection. Sometimes authors resonate on certain experiences or aspects of their life, and express them through the art of writing. Alice Munro, a renowned short-story author, creatively displays this technique. It is important to first understand that Munro is a writer of fiction, yet her writing has chronologically progressed through situations and experiences in her own life. Being a Canadian native, Munro is often compared to great Southern writers such as Faulkner and OíConnor due to her ability to place her characters in confrontation with tradition. Because of her implicit style of writing, many readers can easily relate to the characters, settings, and plots of her stories. Through the use of complex characters, setting, ironic humor, and symbolism, Munro elegantly creates fictional short stories that easily survive in a non-fiction lifestyle. Munroís characters are the backbone of her stories. One could assume that Munro first creates her characters, then delicately places the plot around them.

Book Reviews Old Man on His Back: Portrait of a Prairie Landscape Sharon Butala Photography by Courtney Milne Not since Willa Cather and Laura Ingalls Wilder have the prairies had so devoted a chronicler as Sharon Butala. In her best-selling memoir, The Perfection of the Morning , she writes with feeling and wisdom about marrying a cattle rancher and getting to know for the first time "the glowing, fragile plains, the radiant hills" of southwestern Saskatchewan. In her companion volume, Wild Stone Heart (recently released in paperback), she tells of watching a field on the family property return to its natural state, where it became both an exemplar of long-vanished prairie ecology and a source of inspiration and meditation—"layers of presence gradually disclosing themselves to me." As readers of that book know, Butala and her husband eventually came to sell 13,000 acres of ranch land to the Nature Conservancy of Canada—part of a comprehensive effort to protect a stretch of semi-arid mixed-grass prairie called "Old Man on His Back." That terrain, with its "hills and fields of grass and blooming wildflowers," now finds an ideal word-and-picture showcase in Butala’s latest book, Old Man on His Back: Portrait of a Prairie Landscape (HarperCollins Canada, $39.95), with photographs by Courtney Milne.
