Alice Munro has won the International Booker. Congratulations, Alice!
The Man Booker International Prize, worth £60,000 to the winner, is awarded once every two years to a living author for a body of work that has contributed to an achievement in fiction on the world stage. It was first awarded to Ismail Kadaré in 2005 and then to Chinua Achebe in 2007.
Best known for her short stories, Munro is one of Canada’s most celebrated writers. On receiving the news of her win, she said, ‘I am totally amazed and delighted.’

Alice Munro is awesome. I remember when she was starting out and a teacher of mine was accompanying her to an interview and described her as shy. You wouldn’t know it to see her in interviews today. I wish I could meet her.
