Since no one has posted about it here yet, thought I would. Canadian author Alice Munro has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature. She and Margaret Atwood have been bandied about as possible laureates for years so it's kind of nice to see one of them finally get the prize (and maybe Atwood's day will come, too). She is the 13th woman to win the literature prize and the first Canadian (Saul Bellow was born in Canada but moved to the US when he was 9 years old and always identified as American).
