As a girl, Alice Munro lived in Huron County in rural Southwestern Ontario. In an interview with Graeme Gibson, Munro remarked, "... the writers who first excited me were the writers of the American South, because I felt there a country being depicted that was like my own. I can think of several writers now who are working out of Southwestern Ontario. It is rich in possibilities in this way. I mean the part of the country I come from is absolutely Gothic. You can't get it all down." Munro has discussed the relationship between the American South and her own country in greater detail with Mari Stainsby: If I'm a regional writer, the region I'm writing about has many things in common with the American South. Your area is south Ontario
