DEATHS OF GIRLS AND WOMEN
Few can dispute David Quantick’s Showbiz Pals’s 2013 wins as one of the all-time great DDP victories. It shattered the previous hits record off a blend of cutting-edge research, correctly called remission-turned-relapses, and fortune favours the brave. One of the few duds was Alice Munro, the acclaimed Canuck short story author whose works like Runaway and Dance of the Happy Shades experimented with narrative progression and invited comparisons to Chekhov. She was reported to be in frail health in late 2012, but instead her 2013 rivalled DQSP’s, bagging the Nobel Prize in Literature late that year. She was 92 and there is still one living remnant of that DQSP team if you feel like drawing on the past for your 2025 roster. His name is Ryan Buell.
