加拿大短篇小说家爱丽丝·门罗(Alice Munro)荣获2013年诺贝尔文学奖。瑞士诺贝尔奖委员会星期四宣布这项决定时称82岁的门罗是“当代短篇小说大师”。
门罗1931年生于安大略省温格姆镇,不到20岁即开始写小说,几十年来发表了多部小说集,并多次获奖,其中包括加拿大的最高文学奖“总督奖”。
诺贝尔文学奖很可能是门罗事业的顶点,她今年早些时候表示可能不会再写作了。
爱丽丝·门罗是获得诺贝尔文学奖的第13位女性。她说,希望她的获奖会让人们看到短篇小说是个重要的艺术,并不是长篇小说创作前的练笔。
诺贝尔奖委员会星期五将公布今年的诺贝尔和平奖得主。
Canadian short story writer Alice Munro has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In announcing its decision Thursday, the Swedish Academy called the 82-year-old author the "master of the contemporary short story."
Munro began writing in her teens, and published many collections of stories over the decades. She has won numerous literary prizes, including the Governor General's prize, Canada's highest literary honor. The Nobel is likely to be the capstone of her career. She said earlier this year that she was "probably not going to write anymore."
Munro is the 13th woman to win the Literature prize. She said she hoped the award "would make people see the short story as an important art; not just something you played around with until you get a novel written."
The Nobel announcements continue Friday with the Peace Prize.
