Biography
Alice Ann Munro (/mʌnˈroʊ/, née Laidlaw /ˈleɪdlɔː/; born 10 July 1931) 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 short stories, especially in its tendency to move forward and backward in time. Her stories have been said to "embed more than announce, reveal more than parade."
