太多幸福
艾莉絲.孟若，2009獲得曼布克獎，三度得到加拿大總督文學獎，也是2013諾貝爾文學獎得主。

"Too Much Happiness"收錄了艾莉絲.孟若十篇精湛的短篇故事：
痛失三個孩子的年輕母親、往事被寫進小說的少婦、冷靜應對殺人犯的獨居老婦、因為臉上胎記而被欺負的男孩、殘酷可怕的孩子們... ...
孟若以清晰而平易近人的手法，將複雜困難的事實和情感，融入平凡男女的相處方式—雖平凡卻也不可預期，更往往超出他們人生中所經歷的故事。

Ten 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.

Alice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario. She has published thirteen collections of stories as well as a novel, Lives of Girls and Women, and two volumes of Selected Stories. During her distinguished career she has been the recipient of many awards and prizes, including three of Canada’s Governor General’s Literary Awards and two of its Giller Prizes, the Rea Award for the Short Story, the Lannan Literary Award, England’s W. H. Smith Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Man Booker International Prize. In 2013 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Paris Review, Granta, and other publications, and her collections have been translated into thirteen languages. She lives in Clinton, Ontario, near Lake Huron.
