"Exquisite writer" (Julia Phillips), psychiatrist, and conjurer of the uncanny Joanna Pearson returns to the short story with virtuosic intensity, insight, and intimacy.

The stories in More Happy Love speak to the many faces of mid-life's quiet revolt. A psychiatrist meets her late husband’s harshest critic, torn between insatiable lust and vengeance. A timid mother realizes that to save her daughter she must terrorize her. An audiologist begins discovering precious gemstones in the ears of her patients, a surreal mystery that unravels into something much darker. Across the collection, Pearson's characters grapple with secrets, regrets, and the lingering portraits of who they once were.

The mordant, sexy storytelling of More Happy Love is perfect for readers of Rebecca Lee, Joyce Carol Oates, and Yiyun Li, and its wounded, winning characters will leave readers craving more.

Opinie krytyków

More Happy Love had me seeing double. It is spellbinding and spooky and exactly the kind of book I long for. Here we see love in all its forms, at turns ugly, spectacular, perverse, and beautiful. Characters grapple toward connection in fully unexpected ways. Cunningly plotted, devastating in its portrayal of inner lives, this is one of the most satisfying collections I've read in a long time.
In these stories, Joanna Pearson constructs exquisite, fine-tuned machines of wonder and dread. So skillful is her hand that we don't even see the ways the delicate gears of disaster and revelation are beginning to turn until the final click, in all its delicious inevitability. No one else writes stories like these; the brilliant Pearson is working at the top of her form.
Joanna Pearson’s new collection is a dangerous delight: every combustible story within creates its own small explosion. Closely observed, subtly written, and expertly paced, these stories are nonetheless wild, burning with a fierce, unpredictable energy.
Each story in More Happy Love glimmers with a crisp and eerie intelligence. Pearson is masterful at walking the thrilling ledge between the mind and its outward reaches.
Just when the stories in More Happy Love seem about to end, they veer around one more corner, taking us somewhere creepy or illuminating or unexpected, but always somewhere exactly right. This is Joanna Pearson’s gift. Her characters have unsettled pasts and unsettling presents, revealed via the constant of her elegantly precise prose. I loved these stories!
Deeply alive, moving, and disquieting, these stories kept surprising me.
Sensitive, aching, and far-reaching . . . Joanna Pearson is an exquisite writer.
Pearson’s gift for texture and emotional resonance mark her as a talent to watch.
Character-driven and deliberately paced . . . crafted with uncommon depth.
