As a guide to editors and future critics, and as an aid to teachers and students, Struthers lists the works on Alice Munro. The checklist, which draws upon the format established by Robert Lecker and Jack David in ECW Press's The Annotated Bibliography of Canada's Major Authors, includes items under the three categories of "Articles and Sections of Books," "Theses and Dissertations," and "Interviews and Profiles." The article excludes bibliographies, bio-bibliographical sketches, newspaper articles, and book reviews.
