Canadian short-story writer, Alice Munro, has become the first Canadian-based author to be awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature!

The decision was announced on Thursday with the Swedish Academy calling the beloved Wingham, Ontario native a “master of the contemporary short story.” Munro herself said that being honoured with the award felt “wonderful.”

Despite the odds being in her favour, Munro didn’t think she would win the $1.3 million prize. “It’s such a worldwide, important thing… I don’t think along this line usually,” she stated. “I don’t reflect on my own career. I just go on and I’m always in the present pretty much.”

Congrats to Alice Munro!
