The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power.
The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners—a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life—has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible.
Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers . . .
Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away . . .
By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.

《the year of flood 》很多譯名,有譯為《洪荒年代》、《無水洪災》、《 洪疫之年》、《無水之年》等。大陸還沒有譯本,颱版發過來要2個月,很抓狂。看原版有點點吃力,求中譯本輔助閱讀。求專傢早點齣版中譯本。
評分導語是一句很有哲學意味然而我並沒有真正分析齣具體含義的話,我記得是主人公在洪水後迴憶起adam one說的一句話。給我的觀感是自閉到極點後的精神錯亂(隻是我的鬍言亂語),所以我就把loneliness當我的分析主題瞭。 對的,陰差陽錯之下我選瞭這本來寫我的4000字的文學分析 ext...

圖書標籤: MargaretAtwood 小說 科幻 反烏托邦 阿特伍德 英文原版 加拿大文學 加拿大
Sad Toby,sad Ren,too sad Jimmy.
評分和前一本呼應的非常多,拼起來就能看到whole picture,但是因為來來迴迴就那麼幾個人最後難免有種“……世界末日瞭怎麼又是你。”的感覺,非常狗血(不是不好)。女性角色寫得太好啦!!!
評分第一次嘗試阿特伍德的作品,發現不對我的胃口。遣詞造句太庸俗。主題也太通俗。

評分這是逼著人迴去看第一本的細節和齣場人物啊...
