Canadian writer and Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro died yesterday at the age of 92, the Globe & Mail newspaper reported today, citing family members.
Munro received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, as the first Canadian author, reports Reuters.
She published more than ten collections of short stories. Munro was considered a top author of short forms.
Her stories explored sex, longing, discontent, aging, moral conflict, and other themes in rural settings with which she was intimately familiar. villages and farms in the Canadian province of Ontario where she lived.
She was adept at fully developing complex characters in the limited pages of a short story.
Munro, who wrote clearly and realistically about ordinary people, was often compared to Anton Chekhov, known for his brilliant short stories, a comparison that the Swedish Academy cited when it awarded her the Nobel Prize, Reuters reminds.
In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation after receiving the Nobel Prize, Munro said her stories were "quite popular for short stories".
