Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro
"Dimensions" is first, famous story - about a woman visiting her husband in prison, after he murdered their three children. Graceful, reconciliatory story that takes place sort of miraculous, against all odds.
my mop of black hair (the worst hair in the world for showing up in food, as the manager had warned me). p.89, “Wenlock Edge”
Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross
Another winner, stranger, earlier novel by author of PLAYWORLD. Man is questioned by two detectives in the suspicious death of him wife. It is revealed that both detectives also has suspicious dead wives in their past.
Or is just in a book the man is writing that all of this is happening?
It's a puzzle book, and like PLAYWORLD, it ran too long for me. While in PLAYWORLD it was more descriptive and expanded long moments with many different characters, here the number of characters is limited. But I got lost in the puzzle.
Still, Ross is a gifted, powerful writer whom I will read again.
Below is the Escher illustration that serves well as the flyleaf to the book.
