Straddling lines, delighting readers.By Diane MorrisThere are truly 'tales'...fantastic (though totally believable) and not merely 'stories' which by their moniker seem to be lesser in terms of intensity. And interesting these tales are. Perhaps it's the 'age' thing (as we get older, we get bolder) or perhaps it's the 'success' thing (she's definitely been that), but there is a sure-handedness to these tales that loops one into the tale and makes it real. Who hasn't dreamed of ultimate vindication (if not of ultimate resolution) of many an experience in 'younger' life? Who hasn't thought of murder as a solution, but lacked the expertise/sophisticated thinking to develop a tactic that would 'work'? By the time I got to the last 'tale' I was totally convinced it was a 'true' imagined tale of her/our future. I was not diverted by the 'little people' our heroine saw (through her affliction) and actually believed there might be one (and maybe one only) resourceful senior who understood how to try for the best outcome.I think what I like best about these tales (and I've been reading Margaret Atwood since 'Edible Woman' was released in 1969 when I first moved to Toronto and vowed to 'learn about' Canadian literature) is that they straddle comfortably the unnecessary lines between imagination, fiction, and pure craziness.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Malum quidem nullum esse sine aliquo bono.By EQ ExpertMargaret Atwood is probably Canada's foremost writer. I have read The Handmaid's Tale and enjoyed very much a podcast her speaking at the Hay Festival in 1996. My wife is in a book club and her recommendation for this year was Atwood's latest collection of short stories. To her chagrin her colleagues at the book club did not the book and most did not finish it. I was stunned when I heard this and decided to read the collection. The first three stories are a Rashomon-like triptych which were brilliant. Most of the stories were about elderly women in their final stages - either on a boat cruise, or in an old people's home. Although male I recently turned 70 and the stories resonated. Her humour is wicked. I can recommend the book; the writing is excellent and erudite. She used one Latin quotation that given the above particularly appealed to me: “Malum quidem nullum esse sine aliquo bono.” There is no evil without something good.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dark and depressingBy Leonie K AshmanThe 9 separate stories in this book are related by reference to the issues of old age. Typically for Margaret Attwood they are extremely well written, but they are dark and depressing. I could not help contrasting them with the more gentle and positive approach to similar issues of ageing in Richard Ford's "Let me be Frank with you". Margaret Atwood returns to short fiction with nine tales of acute psychological insight and turbulent relationships bringing to mind her award-winning 1996 novel, Alias Grace.A recently widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband in “Alphinland,” the first of three loosely linked stories about the romantic geometries of a group of writers and artists.In “The Freeze-Dried Bridegroom,” a man who bids on an auctioned storage space has a surprise.In “Lusus Naturae,” a woman born with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire.In “Torching the Dusties,” an elderly lady with Charles Bonnet syndrome comes to terms with the little people she keeps seeing, while a newly formed populist group gathers to burn down her retirement residence.And in “Stone Mattress,” a long-ago crime is avenged in the Arctic via a 1.9 billion-year-old stromatolite.In these nine tales, Margaret Atwood is at the top of her darkly humorous and seriously playful game. .com An Best Book of the Month, September 2014: “Stop trying to pimp me out to all these groupies,” a famous author and infamous cad utters in “Revenant,” one of three cleverly interconnected tales that begin Margaret Atwood’s superbly sardonic Stone Mattress. He is referring to an impending visit from an infatuated graduate student who is supposedly writing a thesis about his sonnets…which aren’t really sonnets (long story). Naveena—her name, he derisively but accurately points out, “sounds like cheese food slices. Or better—like a hair-removal cream”—is insufferable enough to be sure. The depiction makes yours truly nervous to be writing this review, but it’s all part of the fun, and these tales are fun, which is odd considering the sinister current that runs through many of them. But it’s as if the reader is privy to some sort of inside joke. This is especially evident in “The Dead Hand Loves You,” when Atwood playfully skewers the horror genre then gleefully indulges in it, and the ominously tongue-in-cheek “Torching the Dusties.” Fans of Margaret Atwood will certainly delight in this collection. But beware, the Stone Mattress will make groupies of old and new readers alike. –Erin Kodicek "Realism and ridiculousness, play and deadly seriousness, are held in fine balance throughout.... Atwood's prose is sharp and sly." The Guardian "Terrific.... Atwood's narrative control, her ability to surprise and her sparkling language are on full display." The Globe and Mail "Atwood, more than 40 books into her career, has arrived here preoccupied not just with the churn of generations but also with legacy and reputation, with getting straight the story of one's life--the tale about the tale--and with surviving what happens once no one is paying any attention anymore.... Witty and frequently biting." New York TimesAbout the AuthorMargaret Atwood is the author of more than forty volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non- fiction, but is best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman (1969), The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), The Robber Bride (1994), Alias Grace (1996), and The Blind Assassin, which won the prestigious Booker Prize in 2000. A book of short stories called Stone Mattress: Nine Tales was published in 2014. Her novel, MaddAddam (2013), is the final volume in a three-book series that began with the Man-Booker prize-nominated Oryx and Crake (2003) and continued with The Year of the Flood (2009). The Tent (mini-fictions) and Moral Disorder (short fiction) both appeared in 2006. A volume of poetry, The Door, was published in 2007. In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination, a collection of non-fiction essays appeared in 2011. Her non-fiction book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth was adapted for the screen in 2012. Ms. Atwood’s work has been published in more than forty languages, including Farsi, Japanese, Turkish, Finnish, Korean, Icelandic and Estonian.

  • Moral Disorder Margaret Atwood
    BIBLIOTECA TECLA SALA March 15, 2018 Moral Disorder Margaret Atwood Introduction Margaret Atwood has frequently been cited as one of the foremost writers of our time. Moral Disorder could be seen as a collection of eleven stories that is almost a novel ... or a novel broken up into eleven stories. It resembles a photograph album - a series of clearly observed moments that trace the course of a life, and the lives intertwined with it - those of parents, siblings, children, friends, enemies, teachers and even animals. And as in a photograph album, times change; every decade is here, from the 1930s through the 50s, 60s and 70s to the present day. The settings are equally varied: large cities, suburbs, farms, northern forests. By turns funny, moving, lyrical, incisive, tragic, earthy, shocking and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and inimitable Contents: style to their best advantage. As the The New York Times has said, 'Atwood has complete access to her Introduction 1 people's emotional histories, complete understanding of their hearts and imaginations.'

  • Uncanny Spaces and Troubled Times in Margaret Atwood's Poetry
    Article “It always Takes a Long Time/to Decipher Where You Are”: Uncanny Spaces and Troubled Times in Margaret Atwood’s Poetry Eleonora Rao Department of Humanities, University of Salerno, Fisciano, 84084 Italy; [email protected] Received: 27 July 2017; Accepted: 15 August 2017; Published: 18 August 2017 Abstract: The focus is on Atwood’s most recent poetry collections; Morning in the Burned House (1995) and The Door (2007), in addition to the prose poems volume The Tent (2006). They have in common, albeit with a different emphasis, a preoccupation with mortality and with the writing of poetry itself. They also share a special concern for space. This reading considers space and landscape to function as metonyms. Space here is far from being passive; instead it is constantly in the process of being constructed. The disorientation that the poetic personae experience in these texts follows a labyrinthine pattern where heterogeneity and multiplicity in the sense of contemporaneous plurality prevail. In this perspective, the identity of a place becomes open and provisional, including that of a place called home. Keywords: contemporary poetry; space and place; liminality You remember this. No, you dreamed it. Your dream was of choking, and sinking down, and blankness. You woke from your nightmare and it had already happened. Everything was gone. Everything, and everyone—fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, the cousins, the tables and chairs and toys and beds—all swept away. Nothing is left of them. Nothing remains but the erased beach and the silence. (Atwood 2006b, p. 149) The “nightmare” described by Margaret Atwood in her 2006 collection of poems, short prose poems, and fictional essays The Tent plays heavily on the Freudian Unheimliche—“the uncanny”— evoking the speaker’s most intimate fears of sudden, inexplicable loss of home and the familiar.

  • Atwood's Body Politic
    UDC 821.111(71).09 Atvud M. Michelle Gadpaille Faculty of Arts, University of Maribor ATWOOD’S BODY POLITIC:7 A Ta XONOMY OF G E ND E R RepRESENTATION In the 1980s and 90s a gap appeared in the rank of feminist literary theorists. On one side were the essentialists, and on the other the constructivists, and between them lay a woman’s body. Some French theorists maintained that woman’s writing was a bodily experience, not divorced from the body as the post- enlightenment tradition would have it. “Write yourself. Your body must be heard,” said Hélène Cixous (Cixous 2001: 2043). In contrast, there was Monique Wittig’s non-essentialist stance, while Judith Butler gave the literary world gender as construction, even as performance. Long before Butler’s Undoing Gender (2004), Bodies That Matter (1993), and Gender Trouble (1990), Margaret Atwood had been deconstructing gender forms in her work. Starting with The Edible Woman in 1969, Surfacing (1972), Cat’s Eye (1982), Bluebeard’s Egg (1983) and The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), and including the more recent works, Moral Disorder (2006) and The Tent (2006), Atwood’s writing demonstrated that gender is, as Butler affirms, a cumulative performance communicated to society at large through a system of socially-constituted signs in behaviour, dress, and language, including the silent languages of the body. This paper will propose a taxonomy of gender performance as evident in a range of Atwood’s fiction, particularly in the early fiction, where the social and political tussle over women’s bodies is powerfully enacted.
