Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer. “This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor.
31、 “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.” She wasnt sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to be successful. But this may change my mind.” 33. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is a prize for_. A. her love for Canadian culture B. her contribu
