“She read modern fiction too. Always fiction. She hated to hear the word “escape” used about fiction. She might have argued, not just playfully, that it was real life that was the escape. But this was too important to argue about.”—from “Free Radicals,” TOO MUCH HAPPINESS, by Alice Munro(Photo: Alice Munro and fellow author Jim Scott were together to celebrate the Governor General’s award. Scott taught Creative Writing at Western while Miss Munro was a student.)
