「内臓の」を意味するvisceralには「直感的な，理屈抜きの，本能的な」という意味もあります。はらわた（gut）に響くストーリーの名手なのでしょうね。（UG）
Alice Munro Wins Nobel Prize in Literature
Alice Munro, the renowned short-story writer whose visceral work explores the tangled relationships between men and women, small-town existence and the fallibility of memory, won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday.
Announcing the award in Stockholm, the Swedish Academy said that Ms. Munro is a “master of the contemporary short story.”
Ms. Munro, 82, is the 13th woman to win the prize.
