A name (vaguely) familiar to everyone who took high school English:
Quote:
Alice Munro, a Canadian author who was revered worldwide as master of the short story and who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, has died at the age of 92.
Her publisher said Munro died at her home in Port Hope, Ont., on Monday evening.
"Alice Munro is a national treasure — a writer of enormous depth, empathy, and humanity whose work is read, admired, and cherished by readers throughout Canada and around the world," read a statement from Kristin Cochrane, CEO of McClelland & Stewart, which is owned by Penguin Random House Canada.
"Alice's writing inspired countless writers too, and her work leaves an indelible mark on our literary landscape."
