[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since her husband was convicted, why wasn't that ever made public by the press? It seems like an egregious oversight by journalists, as it's not like he has a common name. Why didn't any of the authors of articles following her Nobel Prize or death include this?[/quote] Because there is a culture of silence around child sexual abuse. Alice Munro's biographer knew about it but didn't publish it because "it wasn't that kind of book... I wasn’t writing a tell-all biography. And I’ve lived long enough to know that stuff happens in families that they don’t want to talk about and that they want to keep in families." https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/07/09/alice-munro-colleagues-abuse/ [/quote]
