photo by Jerry BakerAlice Munro began writing early: her first story was published in 1950, when she was only 19. She once said that books seemed, "to me to be magic, and I wanted to be part of the magic." All book-fans and aspiring writers know exactly what she means.
Borrowing the title of Munro's latest book, (Liebes Leben/Dear Life) German authors Judith Hermann and Manuela Reichert will present an homage to Munro on 28 Feb at Literature House Munich. They will discuss the life and work of the acclaimed Canadian, a master of the short story, with readings auf Deutsch from Munro's early book, Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You/ Was ich dir schon immer sagen wollte.
