Ten superb new stories by one of our most beloved and admired writers—the winner of the 2009 Man Booker International Prize.
In the first story a young wife and mother receives release from the unbearable pain of losing her three children from a most surprising source. In another, a young woman, in the aftermath of an unusual and humiliating seduction, reacts in a clever if less-than-admirable fashion. Other stories uncover the “deep-holes” in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and how a boy’s disfigured face provides both the good things in his life and the bad. And in the long title story, we accompany Sophia Kovalevsky—a late-nineteenth-century Russian émigré and mathematician—on a winter journey that takes her from the Riviera, where she visits her lover, to Paris, Germany, and, Denmark, where she has a fateful meeting with a local doctor, and finally to Sweden, where she teaches at the only university in Europe willing to employ a female mathematician.
With clarity and ease, Alice Munro once again renders complex, difficult events and emotions into stories that shed light on the unpredictable ways in which men and women accommodate and often transcend what happens in their lives.
Too Much Happiness is a compelling, provocative—even daring—collection.
艾丽丝•门罗(Alice Munro,1931— )
加拿大女作家,当代短篇小说大师,2013年诺贝尔文学奖得主。少女时代即开始写作,37岁时出版第一部作品。她一生专注于中短篇小说创作,讲述小地方普通人特别是女性隐含悲剧的平常生活,以细腻透彻又波澜不惊的话语,洞见人性的幽微处。
听说门罗是在施瓦尔贝的《生命最后的读书会》里。作者母亲的临终章就是门罗的这本《幸福过了头》,似乎是对母亲一生辉煌事迹的一种隐喻,也是对她在家人陪伴下安详离世的最佳概括。《幸福过了头》就这样进入了我的书单。 如果说那些史诗般的鸿篇巨著和人物众多、关系错综复杂...
评分看似平淡但是波涛汹涌,情感太丰富笔触太细腻
评分有一个男子得知一个小时候的玩伴为他毁容,想道“知道了真相会改变什么吗?答案是一定会的,会改变一时,并不会。”其他像嬉皮杀子和小孩杀了同学,陌生人聊自己不幸运的感情经历等都让人印象很深。反而她花最多心血研究的数学家传记改编那篇写得不灵。
评分每读完一篇要喘口气 ,最后一篇特意留在几个月后读。结果,没读明白。门罗用简洁日常的口吻讲述故事,轻轻带过残暴,使我如同睡梦中遭遇强震,对生活恐惧,失望,却总达不到绝望,它的文字里自始至终有种永恒性的宁静存在,似乎在消解着残暴。到头来是生活溶解了残暴,还是残暴毁掉了生活?
评分太一般了。里面居然还有个红卫兵的故事。奶奶你能不能别那么老套。jupiter那本也不好看。再最后试下runaway不行就算了。
评分Suffocating and choking, both the happiness and the pain.
