Alice Munro Wins Nobel Prize for Literature

‹ Back to blog

After the wildly stupid and controversial pick of Mo Yan last year for the Nobel Prize for Literature, this year the academy wised up and picked the safest choice possible: Alice Munro.

Everyone loves Alice Munro. She’s delightful and she writes world-class literature. What’s more, she is only the 13th woman in history to win the Nobel prize for Literature, and she writes a genre of literature which often gets short shrift, the short story.

Although this could be seen as merely a pendulum swing from the controversial pick of last year, I don’t care. I don’t care because Alice Munro deserves the Nobel, and I couldn’t be happier that she received it.
