How to Think about Munro

“Our acute discomfort and confusion with recent revelations have nothing to do with Munro’s art form nor the “class” of her work. She differs from Diddy, Cosby, and others in the painful insight she displays in her writing about the abuse and its lingering injury. How, we ask ourselves, can someone who sees the truth so clearly do nothing?
But this gulf between insight and action is familiar to any clinical psychologist. We can see the truth, we know what it requires of us, but we can’t move our feet. We are too weak, afraid, lonely, ashamed. The spirit is willing, but the flesh doesn’t execute.
We see now that Munro must have lived in this purgatory, preferring to knowingly sacrifice her daughter to leaving her admitted child abuser of a husband. Sit in a criminal court if you think parents don’t do this. They do—just not people as famously insightful and articulate as Munro.”
