Which Canadian short story writer received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013?

Correct answer Alice Munro

Fact

Did you know?

Alice Munro, born in Ontario in 1931 and died in 2024, was a Canadian writer known mainly for her short stories. Her stories explore daily life, family relationships, intimate choices and the effects of time in small Canadian towns. Among his collections are “Fugitives”, “On the Side of Castle Rock” and “Too Much Happiness”. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, with the Swedish Academy calling her a master of the contemporary short story. She was therefore neither Australian nor the author of “The Saga of the Children of Lost Times”, a title absent from her bibliography.
