About This Novel
Margaret Atwood, the author of "The Handmaid's Tale" and a popular spokesperson for women's writing around the world, looks back on her relationship with science fiction novels throughout her life. She has profound insights and clever analysis, making it a refreshing read. "In Other Worlds: Science Fiction and the Human Imagination" is not a catalog of science fiction, nor a set of grand theories, nor a literary history; it is not a monograph on science fiction, with neither definition nor detailed analysis, nor is it an authoritative canon. It is not the product of years of study by pious scholars, nor is it the guardianship of a body of knowledge by moralists. "It is just an in-depth review of the relationship between one person, that is, 'I', as a reader and a writer, and one or more literary forms and their branch forms throughout her life." Through this book, Margaret Atwood reviews her relationship with science fiction throughout her life, from childhood to her time as a student at Harvard University, and then to her later years as a novelist and critic. These articles have profound insights, clever analysis, and sometimes unexpected humor and cunning. Reading them makes people feel like taking a breath of spring breeze.
