批評家のレビュー

“A speculative-fiction visionary... Atwood has an uncanny knack for tapping into humanity’s uncertain future and predicting mankind’s cultural, scientific and sociopolitical falls from glory... Her fiction has peeled back the skin of our disturbing subcutaneous nightmares.” ( Wired)
“One of the most intelligent and talented writers to set herself the task of deciphering life in the late twentieth century.” ( Vogue)
“Throughout her literary career... Margaret Atwood has impressed and delighted readers with her wit, lyric virtuosity, and imaginative acuity.” ( San Francisco Chronicle)

あらすじ・解説

At a time when speculative fiction seems less and less far-fetched, Margaret Atwood lends her distinctive voice and singular point of view to the genre in a series of essays that brilliantly illuminates the essential truths about the modern world. This is an exploration of her relationship with the literary form we have come to know as "science fiction”, a relationship that has been lifelong, stretching from her days as a child reader in the 1940s, through her time as a graduate student at Harvard, where she worked on the Victorian ancestor of the form, and continuing as a writer and reviewer.

This audiobook brings together her three heretofore unpublished Ellmann Lectures from 2010: "Flying Rabbits", which begins with Atwood's early rabbit superhero creations, and goes on to speculate about masks, capes, weakling alter egos, and Things with Wings; "Burning Bushes", which follows her into Victorian otherlands and beyond; and "Dire Cartographies", which investigates Utopias and Dystopias.

In Other Worlds also includes some of Atwood's key reviews and thoughts about the form. Among those writers discussed are Marge Piercy, Rider Haggard, Ursula Le Guin, Ishiguro, Bryher, Huxley, and Jonathan Swift. She elucidates the differences (as she sees them) between "science fiction" proper, and "speculative fiction", as well as between "sword and sorcery/fantasy" and "slipstream fiction". For all listeners who have loved The Handmaid's Tale, Oryx and Crake, and The Year of the Flood, In Other Worlds is a must.
