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.

[前文已删] 如果是網絡版本,這本書中D-holes這一篇的結尾少了一段。但這一篇很容易搜到。=] ______2014年1月补_____ deep holes我的理解: 讲述了一个中产(知识分子)家庭的地质变迁,Kent是一个牺牲者或是一个最终坚持自我的人很难下定论,或许两方面对他而言都说得通...
评分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...

评分巴恩斯说门罗"can move characters through time in a way that no other writer can", 太对了,还说他也试了不过——没门儿,这人家独门绝技。门罗在这书里写了个很绝的句子,"it was real life that was the escape", 或许是这样吧:真实世界里避而不谈、让我们活出来又咽下去的东西,就用写小说的笔全掘出来。在语言上最喜欢too much happiness, 不知道是太累了,又或是俄罗斯的雪、巴黎苦苦守候的老教授、通往斯德哥尔摩的列车打动了我……读到最后脑子里冒出一个念头来:感觉自己静静漂浮在海面上,心里的声音说,就到这里,不要再潜下去了。这篇真是很美。
评分We are suffocated because of the society.We compose the society.
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。
评分喜欢munro简洁的风格 微言大义 一如既往地惊艳
