Alice Munro

Who is the person who had the most effect or influence on you when you were growing up?
It wasn't a person. The most influential thing in my life growing up was books.

What was your greatest learning experience?
Well, learning to read at school, but that's everyone's greatest experience. All learning in the beginning of life is the most important — learning how to get along in the world.
