Too Much Happiness (Vintage International)

Purchased from the Green Valley library in Henderson, NV today.
My review of another copy of this book:
Another set of terrific short stories. The title story is actually a fictionalized version of a real life, and it sits at the very end of this volume.
So what does it mean - Too Much Happiness? It may be that there is no such thing. Maybe that just when we think all our wishes have been granted - they aren't. Or perhaps the stories are about unexpected things in a life. But that's too simplistic to describe these stories.
They are pieces of lives of ordinary people. Real pieces, unexpected journeys and unexpected actions. People who find parts in themselves that may have been lost. People who simply lose. People who accept, then don't.
All of the stories held my attention, as each character made its way into me, became some sort of friend or acquaintance. And their stories are vivid and real.
