Too Much Happiness by Alice MunroI've never read anything by Alice Munro before but I found her new collection of short stories intriguing and found myself thinking about some of the stories long after closing the book. She incorporates the "usual" fiction fare: murder, suicide, adultery, illness, theft, crime, dysfunction, mental instability, cruelty, violence, emotional abuse......yet never does the story end up where you think it will, such is her creative twist on our expectations. Don't expect anything "usual" about these stories at all. Alice Munro will suck you in and keep you on your toes while doing so.
And on a different note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE OLDEST SON!!!!!!!
