There are lots of other very good writers running around Canada, eh, but they are never smiled upon by the establishment quite like MA
Uh, really? Alice Munro just won the Nobel prize, eh!
She even has an entire short story about a spanking, called Royal Beatings (in her short story collection, Who Do You Think You Are?). It's not a fetish story like ours on here, but it is definitely an entire 30,000 word story about a belt beating.
And Margaret Atwood deserves all the exposure she gets and more - she's awesome.
