What I didn't say
The Reading Circle (TRC) met on 9th November 2013 at Neo Mendes' Omni Bookshop to celebrate Alice Munro's receiving the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature. As a member of TRC, I too was asked to say a few words on that occasion. While appreciating the fact that the event was covered by your newspaper, I would like to mention that most of the quotations at the event that were attributed to me were not mine at all. But what I found particularly embarrassing was regarding the following sentence: 'Ameneh added that her (Alice Munro's) writing was certainly of a high standard.'
I don't have the temerity to judge the writing of a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and didn't.
