@LI_ALSCW, published by @JHUPress and online at @ProjectMUSE, continues to provoke literary conversation--here drawing a response by James Tussing on @Substack to @valerie_reads superb recent @unherd response to his magisterial essay on Alice Munro. Paper trail below.

[Valerie Stivers @valerie_reads]

"Part of what was so disorienting about Andrea Skinner’s revelations was the way they forced me to think: 'when I told myself this was truer to life than other contemporary fiction, what view of life was I implicitly signing up for?'"

James Tussing responds to my response to his @LI_ALSCW essay.

James Tussing’s magisterial essay on Alice Munro from Literary Imagination Issue 27.3 continues to drive the literary conversation—and to give rise to fresh provocation, now in the form of this searching response by @valerie_reads for @unherd. https://t.co/6FCSqKiJYL

[Valerie Stivers @valerie_reads]

The more I read Alice Munro, the more I'm obsessed with the resonances between the stories, and how beautifully and completely she told us about what the sexual revolution did to her and her family. What we don't want to see. Me for @unherd
