Produktinformationen zu „In Other Worlds “
This book is an exploration of Atwood's relationship with the literary form we have come to know as "science fiction." Beginning with her days as a child reader in the 1940s and stretching into her time as a graduate student at Harvard and as a writer and reviewer, Atwood's relationship with science fiction narratives has been lifelong. In this imaginative and charming book, the master novelist who has given us the beloved novels The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake offers her unique and powerful perspective on this complicated and evolving genre.
Klappentext zu „In Other Worlds “
In these marvelously wide-ranging essays, Margaret Atwood explores her lifelong relationship to science fiction, as a reader and as a writer. At a time when the borders between genres are increasingly porous, she maps the fertile crosscurrents of speculative and science fiction, utopias, dystopias, slipstream, and fantasy, musing on the age-old human impulse to imagine new worlds. She shares the evolution of her personal fascination with SF, from her childhood invention of a race of flying superhero rabbits to her graduate study of its Victorian antecedents to the creation of her own acclaimed novels. Studded with appreciations of such influential writers as Marge Piercy, Ursula K. LeGuin, Kazuo Ishiguro, H. Rider Haggard, Aldous Huxley, H. G. Wells, and Jonathan Swift, In Other Worlds is as humorous and charming as it is insightful and provocative.Autoren-Porträt von Margaret Atwood
