CONGRATULATIONS ALICE MUNRO
WINNER OF 2009 MAN BOOKER PRIZE!
If you haven’t read Munro…you should. She is hands-down brilliant. I can read her while driving. Yes, that is how good she is; or how crazy about her I am. Okay, don’t clear the roads yet…I don’t read her while driving through school zones or your local neighborhood. I am not a complete psychopath…rather self-destructive. Honestly, I have only read her on long stretches of straight, tedious roads created to induce spasms of mania in those in possession of ADHD. Really. And I can line the book up perfectly with my line of vision. Believe me…I have spotted numerous police while reading long before they have spotted me. Actually, some believe I pay more attention to the road while reading than when not. Now that says something. But what? Promise, stick a thousand needles in my eye, there are very few writers that make me behave this blatantly bad; Alice Munro is one of them. She deserves this award and my fatalistic awe. Read her…and please don’t read while driving; it is stupid!
And so many choices…
