The 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded to Alice Munro,
"master of the contemporary short story."
Here are link to the prize announcement (with video) and the very skimpy press release (PDF).
I haven't read Munro in ages, because I tend to gravitate toward novels over short stories. I will have to address this lack of recent Munro-reading soon. For myself and others in the same position I've included a selected bibliography below. I'd appreciate any specific recommendations.
