No biggie. Just the Swedish Academy calling to let Alice Munro know about her Nobel Prize in Literature. Hit snooze and get back to them later!
The Swedish Academy has not been able to get a hold of Alice Munro, left a phone message. #NobelPrize #Literature

Heh. The future of Nobel Prize notifications: Twitter DMs?
Evidently Munro slept through the announcement.
#Munro tells us she was asleep for #Nobel announcement. Happ at 4am her time. 82 yrs old and a lifetime of work.

She may not have picked up the phone for the Swedish Academy, but she is aware of her prize.
How #Munro found out. Phone call from daughter: "Mom, you won!"

CBC reporter David Common had better luck reaching her.
Just talked to Alice #Munro on her Nobel win. She is shock. Woken up by her daughter. Can't believe she's only the 13th woman to win.
