This is great news for lovers of the short story, Alice Munro has won the Nobel prize for literature. I think it was deserved as much as anyone deserves it. I would hope this raises the profile of the short story for a while. You can read the NY Times announcement here.

I had been hoping for Javier Marías to win, but I am pleasantly surprised by this. Do you have a favorite collection of her work?

Not that I can think of, partly because it has been a while since I’ve read her work. I liked Open Secrets. I think Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories might be a good choice. You might give the list at the Millions a try.

Thanks, for reading.
