# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Alice Ann Munro was born 10 July 1931 in Huron County, southwestern Ontario, where she would set most of her fiction. Her short stories explored human complexities in meticulous, simple prose that moved forward and backward in time, often in integrated cycles. She won Canada's Governor General's Award for Fiction three times, the Man Booker International Prize in 2009, and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. She stopped writing around 2013 and died at her home 13 May 2024. Two months later her daughter Andrea Skinner revealed that Munro's second husband, Gerald Fremlin, had sexually abused Skinner starting in 1976 when she was a child, that Munro learned of it in 1992, and chose to stay with Fremlin. The disclosure prompted reevaluation of Munro's legacy.
