4.It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of 8ight.On Dec 29,she still didn't seek the spotlight(聚光燈)when she was named one of the rive Women of the Year by the Financial Times.
    In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people,She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which 8he is most familiar with.She writes about the ordinary things in the village-fox forming;,trees felled in the Ontario wilderness,poor country achool8 and long last illnesses.Above all,she talk8 about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.
    She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic. Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.
    Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decide8 to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and l08t chance8 that we can all find in life,There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.
    Since she published her first collection of 8hort stories in 1968,Munro has won many a wards,with the Nobel Prize being her bigge8t honor.On Oct 10,2013,the Nobel Prize commit-tee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story".
