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.

生命中总是会有一些无法宣之于口的疼痛,比如家庭的破裂、爱人的背叛,信念的崩塌,亲人的不辞而别,死亡,衰老,险境,多年的亏欠...它们就像发炎的伤口,缓慢,绵长,刺痛,你的灵魂像浸透了水的海绵一样沉重。 别人会安慰,会同情,会讲一些苍白无力的话,但你明白自己需要...
评分在文学圈子里有这样一个常识,假如你写不出一部有分量的长篇小说,那你甚至不算是个作家,顶多算个游荡于文学殿堂门廊外的可怜虫。记得《2666》里波拉尼奥这么评价《变形记》,《圣诞颂歌》:这些不过是大师们完美的习作,而少有人去见识他们真正披挂上阵,和那些能吓倒我们...
评分"too much happiness“ -- 有那么一两篇,让我一度怀疑自己在看亦舒。 一个拉大提琴的女老师,被嬉皮士老公劈腿、出轨。她知道后说那咱们三个人想想以后怎么对付吧。男的是个混不吝,说,不是三个人,没有咱们 -- 干脆利落地把她扫地出了门。女老师咽不下这口气,天天打扮得花...
评分We are suffocated because of the society.We compose the society.
评分这本里的故事就要爽快很多。只是每篇的结尾都停在很奇怪的地方。有时候我都不免怀疑是不是因为我看的是盗版,所以不全。
评分很好。关乎生死的惊悚包裹在平淡坦然的叙事语气里,被日常的安和质地化掉了、吸收了。这种沉着是人生的底气。
评分If I loved you I would have written differently.
评分We are suffocated because of the society.We compose the society.
