We’ll be chatting about our mutual admiration for Alice Munro, and sharing thoughts on writing, life, and relationships, found in her work and interviews. Alice Munro, known as a master of short stories, was born and grew up in Southern Ontario, Canada. Her writing is honest, and not always comfortable. encouraging you to examine the story you’re living in. If you’re looking for an example of an authentic voice, you’ll find it in her work. Ms. Munro won the Nobel prize in Literature, in 2013.
