Function of Toponyms and Topographic Shifts in Short Stories by Alice Munro: A Possibility of a Novel?

This article brings an analysis of four stories in Alice Munro's collection of short stories “Open Secrets”, i.e.“Carried Away”, “Open Secrets”, “Spaceships Have Landed” and “Vandals". Michael Toolan's thesis on an inherent ambition of 'becoming a novel' in some of Munro's stories is applied to Munro's use of common toponyms and settings in the four short stories, in order to research the possibility of understanding them as parts of a bigger literary work, i.e. a novel.
