RIP Nobel Laureate Alice Munro
The acclaimed Canadian writer has died at 92. She was particularly well-known for her short stories.

I've enjoyed reading many of her short stories over the years.

I remember visiting Munro Books in Victoria several times over the years. I enjoyed her short stories but wished at time that she would write some longer works.
