Canadian Nobel Prize Laureate Turns 88
The Canadian Nobel Prize Laureate Alice Munroe turns 88 today with a massive achievement of turning the sublimity of women in the society in a different direction through her writings. The revolutionizing short story writer has won Man Booker International Prize in 2009 and Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Her first collection of short stories, ‘Dance of The Happy Shades’ (1968), is scented with the memories of the writer by the shore of Lake Huron, Ontario. The memoirs of her farmland history are sprinkled all over her stories. This collection was followed by ‘Lives of Girls and Women’ (1971), ‘What Do You Think You Are?’ (1978), ‘Runaway’ (2004) and many more. Alice Laidlaw Munro was born in Wingham, Ontario, Canada on July 10, 1931, in a fox farmer family. She has involved her life’s history and immigration experiences of her family in her earlier collections. They were simpler as compared to the later collections. ‘Dear Life’ is her latest collection. The Canadian Post released her honorary postage stamp in 2015.
