探访2013诺贝尔文学奖得主艾丽丝·门罗的书房

Alice Munro in her kitchen in Clinton, Ontario. The acclaimed short-story writer, who will turn 82 next week, recently announced she is probably done writing. Charles McGrath writes that Ms. Munro “has talked this way before,” but insists she’s serious this time. “There will be no more books after ‘Dear Life,’ she said, and the four autobiographical stories that conclude the book — retellings, in a way, of ones with which she began her career — will be her last. ‘Put your money on it,’ she said.”
