Literary icon Alice Munro may be retiring.

In a recent interview the Canadian author says she is ‘probably’ done with writing.

Munro is 81-years-old and is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest short story writers.

Her books include “Dear Life” and “Friend of My Youth.”

Munro has  said before that she was quitting, only to continue again.

In an  interview posted last autunm on the New Yorker’s website , she acknowledged her previous statements, but said, “This time, I think it’s for real.”
