  ROBERT THACKER wrote his M.A. thesis on Alice Munro at the University of Waterloo in 1976 and has been writing about her stories, and Munro herself, ever since. He earned a Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba and is now Charles A. Dana Professor of Canadian Studies and English and Associate Dean at St. Lawrence University. He has been editor of The American Review of Canadian Studies and, as a result of his thirty-five years following Munro, he is now recognized as the leading academic authority on her fiction and career.
