内容简介

A dazzling collection of fifteen stories from Margaret Atwood, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments.

Margaret Atwood is celebrated as one of the most gifted storytellers in the world.

These stories explore the full warp and weft of experience, from two best friends disagreeing about their shared past, to the right way to stop someone from choking; from a daughter determining if her mother really is a witch, to what to do with inherited relics such as World War II parade swords.

They feature beloved cats, a confused snail, Martha Gellhorn, George Orwell, philosopher-astronomer-mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria, a cabal of elderly female academics, and an alien tasked with retelling human fairy tales.

At the heart of the collection is a stunning sequence that follows a married couple as they travel the road together, the moments big and small that make up a long life of love—and what comes after.

The glorious range of Atwood's creativity and humanity is on full beam in these tales, which by turns delight, illuminate and quietly devastate.

    她的這本書感覺就是很遠的故事集,但是沒有太多的共鳴,要麽就是挺好看的。但是沒有太多的出彩篇幅。05-30

    最有趣的是part II, 各种奇思故事 (也第一次知道被宗教处决的女数学家Hypatia)。第一部分和第三部分像个人回忆录的篇章,在暮年之际对逝去之人的怀念,虽然大部分是关于Tig,但是我最喜欢隔着诗歌和记忆碎片描写的Brig所经历的战争。05-12

    这本小说像是一列时空穿梭列车,车头是作为一对老年夫妻的整体在回忆两个人多年来的趣事和朋友;中间是阿特伍德熟练的灵怪叙事,从以为妈妈是女巫的女儿,到外星章鱼的H版童话,再到蜗牛投胎的《重启人生》之“当人真没劲”版;车尾又回到人世间的老年,只是这次,只剩下一个老太太了。最后一篇同名小说聚焦了女主Nell在老伴去世后,她和亲妹妹在一栋乡间小屋的生活片段,虽然丧亲的悲伤仍在,但老年女性的洒脱和机敏也像以往一样动人。比如她们家在对待伤痛的习惯是不会直接说出来,而是问家人“还有曲奇么?”当Nell最终将这句话说出口,妹妹只是淡淡地回复了一句:“没了,就剩巧克力了。”但她知道姐姐刚才经历了一场心碎。03-21
