- Alice Ann Munro (/mənˈroʊ/; née Laidlaw /ˈleɪdlɔː/; 10 July 1931 - 13 May 2024) was a Canadian short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Munro's work has been described as revolutionizing the architecture of the short story, especially in its tendency to move forward and backward in time,[1] and with integrated short fiction cycles, in which she has displayed "inarguable virtuosity" ( (Wikipedia, seen May 15 2024) )

Wikipedia description:
Alice Ann Munro ( mən-ROH; née Laidlaw; 10 July 1931 – 13 May 2024) was a Canadian short story writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Her work tends to move forward and backward in time, with integrated short story cycles. Munro's fiction is most often set in her native Huron County in southwestern Ontario. Her stories explore human complexities in a simple but meticulous prose style. Munro received the Man Booker International Prize in 2009 for her life's work. She was also a three-time winner of Canada's Governor General's Award for Fiction, and received the Writers' Trust of Canada's 1996 Marian Engel Award and the 2004 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize for Runaway. She stopped writing around 2013 and died at her home in 2024. Two months after Munro died, her daughter Andrea Skinner revealed that Munro's second husband, Gerald Fremlin, had sexually abused Skinner as a child starting in 1976. Munro learned of the abuse in 1992 and chose to stay with Fremlin. The news has led to some reevaluation of Munro's legacy.
