  1. [libro] Troppa felicità

    Autrice: Alice Munro
    Titolo: Troppa Felicità
    Editore: Einaudi
    Altro: ISBN 9788806220938; 13,00 €; 332 p.; genere: racconti; I ed. supercoralli 2014; I ed. originale 2009; titolo originale: Too Much Happiness; traduzione di Susanna Basso

    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!

  2. 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!

  33. 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.
