The other day Quillblog noticed that The New Yorker’s website lists “keywords” for its archived articles, including fiction. Quillblog also noticed that in many cases the keywords (a) tell a little story of their own, and/or (b) are often pretty entertaining.
So here’s a challenge for fans of CanLit giant (and New Yorker regular) Alice Munro: match the keyword collections with the story they refer to.
The stories are “Dimension” (June 2006); “Wenlock Edge” (December 2005); “The View from Castle Rock” (August 2005); and “Passion” (March 2004).
The keywords:
A. College Students; Second Cousins; Dinners; Roommates; Love Affairs; Kept Women; “A Shropshire Lad”
B. Boyfriends; Love; Dates; Houses; Ottowa [sic] Valley; Sabot Lake; Canada
C. Murder; Children; Marriage; Mental Illness; Buses; Ontario, Canada; Social Workers
D. Ocean Voyages; Immigrants, Immigration; Atlantic Ocean; Edinburgh, Scotland; Quebec, Canada; Pregnant, Pregnancy; Children
Answers after the jump!
B. “Passion”
C. “Dimension”
