Michiana Chronicles: Nevertheless (The Wisdom Literature of Alice Munro)
Every society has wisdom literature, or something that serves the same purpose. Most obvious are the holy books of the world’s religions, but more homely and modest examples are all around us. Our elders have retold and polished certain stories for so long that only the essence, the pearl, remains. Some of our wisdom literature is passed down to us as old songs, or plays, or novels. I think of wisdom literature this week because of the passing of Alice Munro, the writer from not so far north of Michiana. She lived most of her life in western Ontario, and she honored the people there with her keen attention and her artful sentences. And Munro paid special tribute to the short story, which she wrote almost exclusively for her entire long life.
