內容簡介

內容簡介 諾貝爾文學獎得主 當代短篇小說大師 Alice Munro 艾莉絲.孟若當一個男人走出房間,他就把一切都留在房裡了;當一個女人走出房間,她卻把房裡發生的一切都帶走。2013年諾貝爾文學獎得主2009年曼布克國際獎得主短篇小說大師艾莉絲‧孟若十篇在幸與不幸之間擺盪,並在途中發現微光的故事孟若最具野心又溫柔的書寫是短篇故事,也是人生縮影<太多幸福>以十九世紀俄羅斯女數學家為本,還原了俄國當時幽禁的氛圍,以及女性在追求事業與社會框架之下的掙扎,交織對於愛情的嚮往及破滅。索菲亞死前的遺言:「太多幸福了。」究竟真是滿溢的幸福,還是有那麼一絲悲傷的哀嘆?另外九篇故事,呈現親族的疏離、子女長大後永久背離家庭帶來的孤寂、社會中不受歡迎的邊緣人士,以及作品之中核心的愛情關係:女性所感受的不平等,卻又經常得將一生交託給男方的矛盾情感,也從而折射出對於社會、文化、階級的思考。孟若直指我們深知卻難以開口的真實心聲,精準地用字遣詞,不浪費任何篇幅地編織,並以高度富有同理的方式,讓每個角色的悲歡、相聚與離異皆飽滿立體。書中一句:「虛構的,但不是捏造的。」或許正說明了作者書寫的一大特質,雖然短篇小說建立於虛構,但所有感情、氛圍,都如此真實存在於我們之中。「對細節刻畫入微,對人心觀察入微⋯⋯在日常的悲喜劇中,變魔術般賦予家務事更深、更廣、更宏大的格局。」──《紐約書評》(The New York Review of Books)喬伊思・凱蘿・歐慈(Joyce Carol Oates)「無論是描述激情消逝的婚姻、陰險詭譎的童年,還是十九世紀一位俄國數學家的情慾與智識之旅,少有作家能像孟若一般,將每一幕刻畫得歷歷在目、近在眼前。」──《波士頓環球報》(The Boston Globe)「在孟若的小說集裡只有一句接一句的金句,閱讀孟若的幸福永遠不嫌多。」──《路易斯維爾信使日報》(Louisville Courier-Journal)「讀一則艾莉絲・孟若的短篇就像深陷沉思冥想之中。她以純熟的筆觸捕捉思緒的陰影與岔路⋯⋯後世一定會記得這位將短篇推向極致的短篇大師。」──《堪城星報》(The Kansas City Star)二〇〇九年百大好書「登峰造極之作,孟若最強的作品集之一⋯⋯每個人的口袋書單上都該有一本這種水準的短篇小說集。孟若的短篇平易近人,她寫的就是人生⋯⋯誠實、直觀的敘事手法,為『短篇小說』這門藝術賦予了美名。」──《芝加哥太陽報》(Chicago Sun-Times)「一如她的短篇向來的特色,艾莉絲・孟若的文字風格活靈活現,她對世間的人事物有著不懈的關注和廣泛的好奇,她筆下的句子源自最鮮冽的靈感之泉。」──《華盛頓郵報》(The Washington Post)「每每展讀艾莉絲・孟若筆下的故事,我就坐在那裡一動也不動。她總能寫出一句又一句看似平淡無奇但缺一不可的句子⋯⋯我總是驚歎連連⋯⋯當今之世以英語創作短篇小說的作家中,誰人能出其右?」──全國公共廣播電台(NPR)艾倫・丘斯(Alan Cheuse)「孟若短篇裡發生的事比大部分的長篇還多⋯⋯本書收錄的短篇⋯⋯將她筆下反覆出現的主題:愛、悔恨、一個人隨著時間過去對自身遭遇的重新詮釋,驚心動魄地鋪排出來。」──《紐約郵報》(The New York Post)本書介出自木馬文化出版社《太多幸福》WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013Ten superb new stories by one of our most beloved and admired writers—the winner of the 2009 Man Booker International Prize.With clarity and ease, Alice Munro once again renders complex, difficult events and emotions into stories about the unpredictable ways in which men and women accommodate and often transcend what happens in their lives. In the first story a young wife and mother, suffering from the unbearable pain of losing her three children, gains solace 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 tales uncover the “deep-holes” in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and, in the long title story, the yearnings of a nineteenth-century female mathematician.
