Too much Happiness. Alice Munro.
Cover of Too Much Happiness
Too much Happiness. Alice Munro. 2009. ISBN 9780307273239. In respect of our newest Nobel prize winner I decided I needed to read at least one of her books. The title called out to me. I guess I was looking for a happy book. From the first short story on, you quickly find out that it is not happiness but something dark that lurks in every tale. I listened to a Peter Gzowski interview with her on CBC radio and found the author to be a perfectly delightful humble Canadian. Despite my illogical antipathy to short stories ( if this was so good , why not make a real story out of it), I have to say I read this book with relish, being able to put my latent misogyny well away, replacing it with a delight in skillful prose.
