Nobel Prize for Literature 2013 to Alice Munro
In "Why do you want to know?" Alice Munro tells the story of her own family - from William Laidlaw in early 17th century Scotland, when fairies and ghosts still existed, to Canada. We meet stubborn farmers and headstrong aunts in a round of strange owls with strange life stories. Many of them show a striking love of the written word. Whether they are taking weather notes, writing down memories or making up real stories, the tradition of writing is deeply rooted in Munro's family. It is the most personal book of Alice Munro.
