Alice Munro
Alice Munro s standing as a major contemporary author has long been acknowledged in her native Canada, especially among her fellow writers. As a short story writer she is working within a critically neglected genre. Her reputation developed slowly, from small magazines and radio in the fifties, to three Governor General s Awards and regular appearances in The New Yorker.
