It's great to hear that Alice Munro is getting some international attention. She is a wonderfully insightful and thoughtful writer.

She rightly deserves any award she wins. Her tales keep with you long after you put the book, or as in my case kindle down.

Well deserved! In a life filled with non-fiction in every medium, reading Alice Munro is like a luxury vacation!!
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Her short story collections are wonderfully written and layered with so much symbolism. I'd say she's one of Canada's greatest writer along with Robertson Davies and Alistair McLeod.

I don't think it's easy to place anyone as Canada's "greatest" writer, especially with folks such as Steven Erikson out there writing epics such as the Malazan series.
