	I'm fairly sure that when I was at college our English tutor read us part of one of Alice Munro's stories. I thought it was an excerpt from a novel but may well have been part of a short story, which may account for my not being able to find it since. It was very good! So I am sure her Nobel prize was well deserved :-D

	Sylvia We were listening to an interview with her on the radio on the way home tonight. I did think that I ought to read one of her stories so I could make up my own mind. Hope all is well Von

	Alice Munro has won the Literature Prize She is a well-known short story writer, now into her 80s. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of short stories, so I have read only a few of her works ........... but I have many friends who love her stories.
