Reading her short stories changed my perception of what a short story could do, what it could be, what it could say. Attending the @AliceMunroFest (my first lit fest ever!) showed me what MY short stories could do, be and say. I am in her debt. RIP to a legend.
Canadian writer Alice Munro, whose short stories have been beloved for the past six decades, has died at 92. ' Her earthy humour and ability to extend sympathy to every character made her a household name, and made her birthplace of Wingham, Ontario, a place of literary pilgrimage. She won the Nobel Prize in 2013, the only Canadian to ever win for literature, and the Giller Prize twice, then disqualified herself from the running in 2009 to make way for younger writers. Ms. Munro leaves her daughters Sheila, Jenny and Andrea. More here: tgam.ca/4aeMyiU

By age 30 you should go back to college pretending to be a student but are actually a spy, fall in love with the chemistry teacher, reform your half-brother, rekindle with your step-mom, take down a terrorist group and improve Indo-Pak relations by saving Project Milaap.

I'm done with winter. The jacket mandates, the frostbite, the outdoor swimming pool closures, all of it. Done with it. Lift all these restrictions and let me live my life.

I’m a bit confused as to the Ontario guidelines, are we all supposed to be trying to get covid but don’t tell anyone and go out and do stuff unless it’s the Arts? #clarity
