The 2013 Nobel Prize winner in literature, Alice Munro, just announced her retirement at age 82. The author of 14 books was also the 2009 winner of the Man Booker International Prize for her body of work. Several of her short stories have been translated into movies. The wonderful 2006 film Away From Her was adapted from Munro’s The Bear Came Over the Mountain, which originally appeared in The New Yorker in 1999, was reprinted and is available for reading in their October 21, 2013 issue.
