读过《Old Babes in the Wood》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
一个短篇集，Part II比较有意思，一些短篇sci-fi/fantasy以及故事重述，Impatient Griselda我可太喜欢了！讲故事的调调敏锐又灵巧，另外The Dead Interview印象也很深，阿特伍德对话奥威尔，睿智但又有点quirky的对话，Metempsychosis是蜗牛意外变成人之后的“做人没意思”，除此之外的Part I和Part III是一系列有关一对老夫妇Nell & Tig的故事，Part I里的感觉整体比较琐碎，但是Part III里Nell dealing with grief的部分却很动人，整本书总体感觉比较平，但是时不时有一些sparkle加上阿特伍德沉稳的prose让我觉得还是值得的，
Old Babes in the Wood [Book] Douban
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.
