Alice Munro’s daughter was presented with her mother’s Nobel Prize for literature Tuesday.
The 82-year old writer was unable to make the long trip to Sweden. But Jenny Munro was in Stockholm to pick up the award and the $1.2 million dollar cheque.
“Numerous prominent scientists have received their well-deserved reward in this auditorium, for having solved some of the great enigmas of the universe or of our material existence. But you, dear Alice Munro, like few others, have come close to solving the greatest mystery of them all. The human heart and its caprices.”
The Swedish Academy hailed Munro as the “Master of the contemporary short story.”
