I've decided to use the suggestion (can't remember whose it was -sorry!) to have a meeting where we pick an authour, rather than a specific book.So, for September, I've decided to go with Alice Munro, an iconic Can-lit authour, and one of my favourites. On the wiki site it lists her books, and there are quite a few of her early novels that I have not yet read, so I'm keen to get on that!
Here's the list:
- Dance of the Happy Shades – 1968 (winner of the 1968 Governor General's Award for Fiction)
- Lives of Girls and Women – 1971
- Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You – 1974
- Who Do You Think You Are? – 1978 (winner of the 1978 Governor General's Award for Fiction)
- The Moons of Jupiter – 1982 (nominated for a Governor General's Award)
- The Progress of Love – 1986 (winner of the 1986 Governor General's Award for Fiction)
- Friend of My Youth – 1990 (winner of the Trillium Book Award)
- Open Secrets – 1994 (nominated for a Governor General's Award)
- Selected Stories – 1996
- The Love of a Good Woman – 1998 (winner of the 1998 Giller Prize)
- Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage – 2001
