Alice Munro

Alice Munro: Last Thursday morn, Oct. 10, I guessed that Alice Munro had become Canadas first Nobel laureate in literature because a woman sitting across from me on my Frankfurt-Stockholm flight was reading a Munro book, according to The Chronicle Herald. Munros achievement also insists that we are not provincial anywhere anymore. Canada possesses, as Jewish-Canadian poet A.M. Klein saw 70 years ago, the absolute universal, made richly cosmopolitan by immigration from without and multiculturalism from within and Carp as we like at some Nobel choices a premature Peace Prize for a U.S. president who likes to ahem drone on and on , the lustre of a Nobel Prize illuminates nations. Munros triumph proclaims that CanLit is a must-read worldwide. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
