Fantastic writing from @michelledean. I know so many people were affected by the news from her daughter, and this essay offers an insightful way of looking at the (horrible) situation
I know Alice Munro’s writing by heart. I know her failures by heart, too. In the aftermath of Andrea Skinner’s abuse revelation, Michelle Dean reflects on secrets and lies within families — and what clues were present in Munro’s writing all along. https://t.co/WhkS1DTwO7
