Margaret Atwood was born in 1939 in Ottawa and grew up in northern Ontario, Quebec, and Toronto. She received her undergraduate degree from Victoria College at the University of Toronto and her master's degree from Radcliffe College.
Throughout her writing career, Margaret Atwood has received numerous awards and honourary degrees. She is the author of more than thirty-five volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non-fiction and is perhaps best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman (1970), The Handmaid's Tale (1983), The Robber Bride (1994), Alias Grace (1996), and The Blind Assassin, which won the prestigious Booker Prize in 2000. Atwood's dystopic novel, Oryx and Crake, was published in 2003. The Tent (mini-fictions) and Moral Disorder (short stories) both appeared in 2006. Her most recent volume of poetry, The Door, was published in 2007. Her non-fiction book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth in the Massey series, appeared in 2008, and her most recent novel, The Year of the Flood, in the autumn of 2009. Ms. Atwood's work has been published in more than forty languages, including Farsi, Japanese, Turkish, Finnish, Korean, Icelandic and Estonian. In 2004 she co-invented the Long Pen TM.
Margaret Atwood currently lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.
Hag-Seed is a re-visiting of Shakespeare’s play of magic and illusion, The Tempest, and will be the fourth novel in the Hogarth Shakespeare series.
The Tempest is set on a remote island full of strange noises and creatures. Here, Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan, plots to restore the fortunes of his daughter Miranda by using magic and illusion -- starting with a storm that will bring Antonio, his treacherous brother, to him. All Prospero, the great sorcerer, needs to do is watch as the action he has set in train unfolds.
In Margaret Atwood’s ‘novel take’ on Shakespeare’s original, theatre director Felix has been unceremoniously ousted from his role as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Festival. When he lands a job teaching theatre in a prison, the possibility of revenge presents itself – and his cast find themselves taking part in an interactive and illusion-ridden version of The Tempest that will change their lives forever.
There’s a lot of Shakespearean swearing in this new Tempest adventure…but also a mischief, curiosity and vigour that’s entirely Atwood and is sure to delight her fans.
几年前,英国霍加斯出版社(企鹅兰登集团旗下著名的文学出版社,由弗吉尼亚•伍尔芙创建)发布了一个令人向往的项目:出版一套根据莎士比亚名著改编的小说。时至今日,八位小说家已经签下“军令状”,重新诠释其中的八部戏剧。在《女巫的子孙》(Hag-Seed)这本小说——霍加...
评分 评分对布克奖得主水平和路数的认知完全来自于写出《占有:一段罗曼史》和《天使与昆虫》的拜厄特,在对作者不熟悉的情况下,对本书的大体预期是建立在经验之上,但是开始读没多久,就觉得期望落空了。不可否认这篇文章故事的搭建和细节的处理毫无破绽,但是过于忠实戏剧编导过程的...
评分人类,作为一种感性、自我、又极富局限性的智慧生物,几乎从获得思考能力的那一瞬间起,永远沉迷于某一样事物,人的行为禁锢于自己沉迷于宏大的智慧囚笼之中;而在我们短暂而渺小的一生中,或许沉迷作为一个主题,才能让生活多一些变化吧。 我一直觉得,艺术创作者中,大抵唯...
评分《女巫的子孙》其实不能算是一部严格意义上的莎士比亚戏剧的改写作品,因为它创作了一个新故事——现代社会的《暴风雨》版本。只是沿用了《暴风雨》的故事框架和人物设置,旧瓶子装了新酒,还是和旧酒口味很像的新酒。 故事中规中矩,很安全地按照《暴风雨》的起承转合完成了...
大学时候看过她的一篇短篇《rape fantasy》, 很有趣,最近根据她的小说改编的美剧很火,突然想起了读她的书
评分I really appreciate her biting humor and delicate narrative. My sympathy goes to those hag-seeds, the traumatized ones by treachery, race, poverty, war,etc. Felix is also one of them. Luckily enough, after the well-designed revenge, "To the elements be free" and all are ended.
评分之前读过一本改编莎士比亚《暴风雨》的现代小说,英文名是《Hag-seed》,中文名是《女巫的子孙》,读时没有注意看作者的名字,今天才知道原来此书居然是Margaret atwood写的。

评分即便没有看过tempest,也能体会老太太设置的精妙。中后的地方觉得复仇部分并不过瘾,可是最后的课堂讨论完全超出预期,还有第九重监狱——戏剧本身,真的太棒!
