Alice Munro

“Tensei Jingo(Vox Populi,Vox Dei)”on todays’s Asahi Shimbun featured Alice Munro.
The title is “The Master of Short Stories Passed Away''.
I thought I’ve read her book, but after seraching, none of her book titles activated my memory.
So, I immediately searched at the library homepage and reserved one of her books.
(title is 《IRAKUSA(original title is “Hateship,friendship,courtship,loveship,marriage”》).
I'm the 4th on the reserve waiting list. Maybe I must wait about a month?

Has anyone read it?


アリス・マンロ―

今朝の朝日新聞、天声人語はアリス・マンロ―を取り上げていた。
「短編小説の巨匠逝く」という表題だ。
自分も何か彼女の本を読んでいるだろうと、調べてみたが、思い当たる
作品は一つもなかった。さっそく図書館で検索して1冊予約した(「イラクサ」)。
待ちリストの4番目だ。1ヵ月ぐらい待つかなあ。

読んだ人はいるかな?

Thank you very much for your correction.

“Tensei Jingo(Vox Populi,Vox Dei)”on todays’s Asahi Shimbun featured Alice Munro.

The title is “The Master of Short Stories Passed Away''.

I thought I’ved read her books, but after serarching, none of her book titles activatjogged my memory.

Other ways of saying it:

None of her book titles jogged my memory
None of her book titles were familiar
I didn't recognise any of her books

So, I immediately searched at the library homepage and reserved one of her books.

(The title iwas IRAKUSA (original title is “Hateship,f Friendship,c Courtship,l Loveship,m Marriage”).

《 These symbols are not used in English

Also commas should always be followed by a space. Also titles of things like books, movies, songs usually have an uppercase letter at the start of every word.

“Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage”

I'm the 4th on the reserve waiting list.

These sound more natural:

I'm 4th in line on the waiting list
I reserved it but there are 4 people before me

Maybe I mustI will have to wait about a month?

Has anyone read it?

The column “Tensei Jingo"(translation: "Vox Populi, Vox Dei)”") on todays’s's edition of Asahi Shimbun featured Alice Munro.

So, it's not clear to most non-Japanese people that "Asahi Shimbun" is a newspaper, that "Tensei Jingo" is a column, and what "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" means xD

The title iof the article was “The Master of Short Stories Passed Away''.

I thought I’ve had read her book, but after serarching, none of her book titles activated my memory through her works, none of titles rang a bell.

So, I immediately searched atfor her on the library homepage and reserved one of her books.

(The title is 《IRAKUSA(original title is: “Hateship,f Friendship,c Courtship,l Loveship,m Marriage”》).

Don't forget the space after commas :)

I'm the 4th on the reserve waiting list.

Maybe I musthave to wait about a month?

Has anyone read it?

I hope you like it! I don't think I've read any of her books :(

Thank you very much. I couldn't remember the expression "ring a bell".
本当はね、Jhumpa Lahiri とか Dris Lessingが好きだけど。

“Tensei Jingo(Vox Populi, Vox Dei)”on todays’s Asahi Shimbun featured Alice Munro.

I thought I’ved read her book, but after serarching, none of her book titles activated my memory.

"I'd" is past tense

Maybe I must wait about a month, maybe?

"I may have to wait about a month" sounds more natural, but don't put "maybe" first in a sentence unless it's a suggestion.

Good job, just some light grammatical and spelling errors.
