Many of Munros stories are set in?Huron County, Ontario. Her strong regional focus is one of the features of her fiction. Another is the omniscient narrator who serves to make sense of the world. Many compare Munros small-town settings to writers from the?rural South?of the United States. As in the works of?William Faulkner?and?Flannery OConnor, her characters often confront deep-rooted customs and traditions, but the reaction of Munros characters is generally less intense than their Southern counterparts. Her male characters tend to capture the essence of the?everyman, while her female characters are more complex. Much of Munros work exemplifies the literary genre known as?Southern Ontario Gothic.
