Abstract

A study of the use of “prolepsis” in a short story by Alice Munro. Analysis of Munro’s narrative strategies of “indeterminacy,” of anticipation and deferring, of revealing and hiding, and of the misleading textual function of her “clues.” This close reading of the short story is ultimately encapsulated within the context of a neo-historicist approach to Postcolonialism.
