This essay discusses the role of place, space and landscape in Alice Munro’s “The Shining Houses”, a short story from the collection Dance of the Happy Shades (1968). It takes into consideration the theories of cultural geographers who consider place as a social construct and always in process, in order to illustrate Munro’s skillful treatment of space. In looking at the creation of ‘place’ in the story the essay analyzes the dynamics of being ‘in-place’ and of being ‘out-of-place’ and their implications in the creation and the definition of what is left outside. In addition, the border between the inside and the outside proves porous and generates eerie transformations.
