I too am a long time reader and admirer of Alice Munro and Mavis Gallant. I love a good short story. My mother is from a big family from Staffa so I know the area well. The feeling of being kicked in the stomach was a very apt description. I hope to learn about the trail you have been putting together so I can experience it.
There have been heated discussions around many dinner tables in Canada regarding sexual abuse, even to the point of whether Munro should be read at all. I couldn't agree more with you, Bryan. Many of us also felt that kick.
