The Trouble with Happiness is a short-story collection from Tove Ditlevsen, the acclaimed author of the Copenhagen Trilogy, never before translated in English
A newly married woman longs, irrationally, for a silk umbrella; a husband chases away his wife’s beloved cat; a betrayed mother impulsively sacks her housekeeper. Underneath the surface of these precisely observed tales of marriage and family life in mid-century Copenhagen pulse currents of desire, violence, and despair, as women and men struggle to escape from the roles assigned to them and dream of becoming free and happy―without ever truly understanding what that might mean.
Tove Ditlevsen is one of Denmark’s most famous and beloved writers, and her autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy was hailed as a masterpiece on re-publication in English, lauded for its wry humor, limpid prose, and powerful honesty. The poignant and understated stories in The Trouble with Happiness, written in the 1950s and 1960s and never before translated into English, offer readers a new chance to encounter the quietly devastating work of this essential twentieth-century writer.

非常非常好,主题看似同质化,但是通过不同场景的塑造一点都不显得枯燥。喜欢the method那篇,把女性在家庭的处境通过function的比喻表达得很彻底。还有之后real estate那篇也是在常见场景里挖掘到了生活的真相。对于婚姻 对于生活,她笔下的角色都已经洞察了其本质,也明白怎么可以打破,但都走不出那一步,小心翼翼继续维持着。姐要是能活着多写点就好了,在同样类型的短篇作家里完全是第一梯队的... 非常非常好,主题看似同质化,但是通过不同场景的塑造一点都不显得枯燥。喜欢the method那篇,把女性在家庭的处境通过function的比喻表达得很彻底。还有之后real estate那篇也是在常见场景里挖掘到了生活的真相。对于婚姻 对于生活,她笔下的角色都已经洞察了其本质,也明白怎么可以打破,但都走不出那一步,小心翼翼继续维持着。姐要是能活着多写点就好了,在同样类型的短篇作家里完全是第一梯队的。。。 (展开)

husband and wife is one of the strangest relationships in the world ever; mother and daughter is another.

想太多而不快乐的人物的内心活动 现代生活营造的持久的焦虑和孤独感 和哥本哈根三部曲如出一辙 尤其喜欢的几篇:One morning in a residential neighborhood, A Fine Business, Perpetuation, The Knife.

没有哥本哈根三部曲那么惊艳,但作者对平凡生活细节的把握太厉害了;基本上每篇都是女性在婚姻中的绝望故事,有点重复,但写得确实是好,我最喜欢怀孕的妻子和丈夫去买房的那篇,真的是细节处窥人性

7/10,我没有特别喜欢,The knife 那个故事觉得是全篇最佳。第一次读这个作者,觉得她风格写实,留白很多,写婚姻、孤独、阶级、家庭压抑、女性困境等等,看的时候那种难受的感觉是像水渍一样慢慢蔓延,给我的感觉和卡夫卡有点像,都在书写困住,一个是被系统困住,一个是被生活束缚,卡夫卡抽象地痛,托芙具象化地痛,我读不来卡夫卡,也读不来她。
