Alice Munro
Too Much Happiness
Fiction English-Language
Alice Munro, Clinton (Ontario), Too Much Happiness. (McClelland & Stewart; distributed by Random House of Canada) (ISBN 978-0-7710-6529-3)
In Too Much Happiness, Alice Munro again displays her profound mastery of the short story form. With Shakespearean overtones of rage and sorrow, the book is remarkable in its scope and versatility. Every story astonishes, entertains and evokes a powerful visceral response. Munro could not be less than brilliant if she tried.
