The article analyzes two texts by the Canadian Nobel Prize winner, Alice Munro – Lives of Girls and Women and Who Do You Think You Are? Both books draw from the Bildungsroman tradition, and given such origin, they rather seem to represent the genre of short story novel than that of short stories collection. The article’s author concentrates on the manner in which Munro depicts the coming of age of protagonists while using certain aspects of space and the Gothic convention.Keywords:
