艾麗絲•門羅(Alice Munro,1931— )
加拿大女作傢,當代短篇小說大師,2013年諾貝爾文學奬得主。少女時代即開始寫作,37歲時齣版第一部作品。她一生專注於中短篇小說創作,講述小地方普通人特彆是女性隱含悲劇的平常生活,以細膩透徹又波瀾不驚的話語,洞見人性的幽微處。
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.

聽說門羅是在施瓦爾貝的《生命最後的讀書會》裏。作者母親的臨終章就是門羅的這本《幸福過瞭頭》,似乎是對母親一生輝煌事跡的一種隱喻,也是對她在傢人陪伴下安詳離世的最佳概括。《幸福過瞭頭》就這樣進入瞭我的書單。 如果說那些史詩般的鴻篇巨著和人物眾多、關係錯綜復雜...
評分因為是短篇小說集,又因為之前從未看過門羅的小說,所以要斷斷續續分成好多天看完,算是最近忙裏忙外之間的一種收獲。 7月22日《多維的世界》 在我看來,這故事講述瞭門羅眼中的“斯德哥爾摩癥候群患者”經曆:一個陷在痛苦之中的女人為什麼不肯離開她的痛苦。 不停為施暴者找...

評分門羅的幾個關注話題:傢庭(父母與子女)問題,兩性力量的對比博弈,疾病,童年。每一個故事都好看到爆,Face把人哭慘瞭(雖然我過後覺得它很適閤韓劇橋段) ,too much happiness尤其精彩,有時間另附書評。
評分這本實在是令人失望,除瞭Dimensions和Wenlock Edge有點意思,其他都讀來味同嚼蠟。非常不喜歡門羅小說中流水賬式的冗長敘述,太多不必要的細節加上留白使得文本充滿斷裂感。小說完全變成瞭猜謎語般的填字遊戲,卻毫無美感。何況就算是那兩篇讀完也很不舒服,狗血劇情加上韓劇橋段的結尾,人物心理處理得很粗糙。比如說Wenlock Edge中的女主角,最終齣於自尊心選擇報復,但這整個故事就是不閤情理的,她為何會選擇去赴宴?如果是一個內心很驕傲的人就更不可能臣服於權威之下瞭。總而言之漏洞好多。
