too much happiness

Alice Munro's new short story in the current Harper's.

"Always remember that when a man goes out of a room, he leaves everything in it behind," her friend Marie Mendelson has told her. "When a woman goes out she carries everything that happened in the room along with her."

Astounding story I spent much time reading.

I was going to alert you about this but knew you'd be on it.

Interesting, one of those Munro's a little outside the box, less Chekovian than usual. Unlike many, it did not demand that I read it in one sitting.
