Notes |
"The Nobel Prize for Literature is awarded, according to the will of Swedish inventor and industrialist Alfred Bernhard Nobel, "to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind" in the field of literature. It is conferred by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm." Author Alice Munro was awarded the prize in 2013. The Nobel Prize served as a capstone on Munro's career, and it was awarded partly for her final work "Dear Life", but also as an award for lifetime literary achievements. |
