In Margaret Atwood's stunning new collection of stories, her first since her #1 nationally bestselling 2006 collection, Moral Disorder, she returns to the here and now in this brilliant, new collection of stories.
In these nine dazzlingly inventive and rewarding stories, Margaret Atwood's signature dark humour, playfulness, and deadly seriousness are in abundance. In "Freeze-Dried Bridegroom," a man who bids on a storage locker has a surprise. In "Lusus Naturae," a woman with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire. In "I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth," we remeet Tony, Charis, and Roz from The Robber Bride, but, years later, as their nemesis is seen in an unexpected form. In "Torching the Dusties," an elderly lady with Charles Bonnet's syndrome comes to terms with the little people she keeps seeing, while a newly formed populist group gathers to burn down her retirement residence. In "Stone Mattress," a long-ago crime is revenged in the Arctic. This is classic Margaret Atwood, and she is at the very top of her form.
我猜想年岁已高的Atwood应该是对衰老、时间流逝有越来越深的体会,所以aging才会成为14年这本最新短篇集非常醒目的主题,九个故事里就有七则是描写老人的生活。头三篇是从三个视角讲述三位老人跨越几十年情感纠葛的“三联体”,以两个受伤害女人的和解收尾;同属探讨情感关系的还有"The Dead Hand Loves You",结局竟意外地暖心。这本书的副标题和作者的后记都特别强调说这是九则"tales",因为'story"可能确有其事,而"short story"作为已经固定的文学类型又带有浓重的现实主义味道,只有"tale"这个词更容易让人联想到传说、童话、神话等更自由宽泛的纯粹故事,这一元素在集子里也很明显。第四五两篇带有浓重的哥特风格,其他故事里也穿插大量的幻想元素,与情节发展紧密相关。
评分#Lusus Naturae# ‘I became an apparition ; I was a red-nailed hand touching a face in the moonlight; I was the sound of a rusted hinge.’ What a “Freak of nature”. Is it the way a thing not a person?
