CanLit legend Alice Munro has backed out of an appearance at this year's International Festival of Authors in Toronto due to what her editor calls frail health.
The two-time Scotia-bank Giller Prize winner was originally scheduled to do a reading and interview at the festival on Oct. 19 to promote her new collection of short stories, Dear Life.
But her longtime friend and editor, Douglas Gibson, now says she won't be able to attend.
