   Is runaway a good book?

   • That's the Alice Munro promise. One of Munro's best books, Runaway is also one of her most thematically consistent collections. The idea of "running away" or "escape" permeates each tale. And what to make of the fact that the book consists of clipped, one-word titles?

   • Parallels Between Goat and Girl
   • Carla’s Responsibility
   • Clark's Pet Entirely

   Runaway people, animals, and emotions abound in the story. The wife, Carla, is twice a runaway. When she was 18 and college-bound, she ran off to marry her husband, Clark, against her parents' wishes and has been estranged from them since.

She was filled with "giddy delight" in her pursuit of a "more authentic kind of life" with Clark. She was impressed by his good looks, his colorful employment histor...

   Though Clark is clearly presented as a murderous, stultifying force, the story also places some of the responsibility for Carla's situation on Carla herself. Consider the way Flora allows Clark to pet her, even though he may have been responsible for her original disappearance and is probably about to kill her. When Sylvia tries to pet her, Flora p...

   Alice Munro’s work is often compared to the short stories of Anton Chekhov. Both authors write about the emotional turmoil of human relationships through an objective and realistic lens, and both center their stories more around psychological narrative than plot.
