Voto: 8/10

Questo volume è finito nella mia biblioteca perché l’ultimo racconto, Troppa felicità, che dà il titolo al libro, è basato sulla vita di Sof’ja Kovalevskaja, matematica, attivista e scrittrice russa. È uno dei racconti più belli della raccolta.

L’altro racconto che mi ha lasciato senza fiato è stato Bambinate, dove l’autrice ci porta per mano in una storia apparentemente ordinaria per farci precipitare nello straordinario un poco alla volta, nelle ultime pagine. Questo modo di procedere, in verità, è tipico dei suoi racconti più belli.

Poi ci sono dei racconti che mi hanno lasciato perplesso, che non ho capito, tipo Legna e Wenlock Edge. O forse in alcuni racconti la Munro non vuole per forza trascinarci nello straordinario, ma lasciarci in sospeso o nell’ordinario. Anche in quel caso ci riesce benissimo, devo dire.

Buona lettura!

Alice Munro's "Lives of Girls and Women" impressed me.

Whether one thinks of it as a set of linked short stories or as novel, the book clearly belongs to that line of North American fictions representing slices of small town life of which Sherwood Anderson's "Winesberg Ohio" is a notable early example.

Munro's work includes sharp observations of female friendship, mother daughter relations, and the limits of provincial cultural life. One story depicts a middle aged man engaged in unsolicited sexual display in front of the young female protagonist; this scene is at once utterly grotesque and totally unforgettable.

I'd strongly recommend "Lives of Girls and Women" . Unfortunately, you will almost certainly not be as lucky as me when I picked up my Penguin copy for a dollar!

The harassment ended only when Andrea reached puberty... Munro’s response made it clear that she was right to be afraid. It was “as if she had learned of an infidelity,” Andrea recalled in her essay for The Star.

First Neil Gaiman, now Alice Munro.

I'm especially surprised by the revelations made by Munro's daughter and very sad for what she had to endure.

Artists of all kinds, even brilliant ones like Munro are humans and their actions and errors can deeply harm others. It is even sadder to know that her own daughter was one of the most affected by this. I know cases in real life that are similar to what happened in this case, and it is very difficult to witness.

I think often about divorcing authors and their work, but it is not always possible. I will always enjoy Munro's stories for their humanity and depth, this is just one more thing to keep in mind when reading her in the future.
