Book Title: In Other Worlds
ISBN: 9781844087556
By Author(s):ATWOOD MARGARET
By Publisher:LITTLE BROWN
Format:PB

From her days as a child reader in the 1940s, through her time at Harvard, where she studied the Victorian ancestors of the form, and later as a writer and reviewer, Margaret Atwood has always been fascinated with science fiction. Here she brings together three Ellmann lectures: ‘Flying Rabbits’ begins with her early rabbit superhero creations, and goes on to speculate about masks, capes, weakling alter egos and Things with Wings; ‘Burning Bushes’ travels into Victorian otherlands and beyond; and ‘Dire Cartographies’ investigates Utopias and Dystopias, including Atwood’s own ventures into those constructions. In further essays Atwood explores and critiques the form, and elucidates the differences – as she sees them – between ‘science fiction’ proper, and ‘speculative fiction’, not to mention ‘sword and sorcery’, ‘fantasy’ and ‘slipstream fiction’. In Other Worlds is a must.
