內容簡介

內容簡介 瑪格麗特·愛特伍德：備受期待的回憶錄當代最偉大的故事講述者之一，將如何書寫她自己的人生？這本眾所期盼的回憶錄，來自**《使女的故事》** (The Handmaid’s Tale) 和 《證詞》 (The Testaments) 的作者，也是我們時代最受讚譽和最具影響力的文化人物之一。「每一位作家至少是兩種存在：一個是活著的人，一個是寫作的人。 儘管所有寫出來的東西都必須經過他們的思想或心智，但他們終究不是同一個個體。」愛特伍德由具有強烈獨立精神和科學思維的父母——昆蟲學家父親和營養師母親——撫養長大，每年大部分時間都在魁北克北部野外的森林中度過。這個童年是自由奔放、遊牧不定的，有時會感到孤立（在她八歲生日時：「聽起來很孤單。當時確實很孤單。而且會變得更加孤單。」），但也充滿了驚險與美麗。從這樣非傳統的開端，愛特伍德逐步展開她的人生故事，將關鍵時刻與那些塑造了我們文學版圖的書籍聯繫起來：從催生出**《貓眼》** (Cat’s Eye) 的殘酷一年，到她寫作**《使女的故事》的反烏托邦式八零年代柏林**。在這些充滿波希米亞式聚會、她與極具魅力的作家格雷姆·吉布森 (Graeme Gibson) 充滿魔力的生活，以及重大政治轉折點的篇章中，我們將會遇見詩人、熊、好萊塢演員，以及彷彿從愛特伍德小說中直接走出來的傳奇人物。隨著我們與她一同走過人生的旅程，關於她的寫作、現實生活與藝術之間的聯繫，以及這位偉大創作者的心智是如何運作的，將會有越來越多被揭示。How does one of the greatest storytellers of our time write her own life? The long-awaited memoir from the author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments, one of our most lauded and influential cultural figures.‘Every writer is at least two beings: the one who lives, and the one who writes. Though everything written must have passed through their minds, or mind, they are not the same.’Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents – entomologist father, dietician mother – Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec. This childhood was unfettered and nomadic, sometimes isolated (on her eighth birthday: 'It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn.’), but also thrilling and beautiful.From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel year that spawned Cat’s Eye to the Orwellian 1980s Berlin where she wrote The Handmaid’s Tale. In pages bursting with bohemian gatherings, her magical life with the wildly charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and major political turning points, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood actors and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.As we travel with her along the course of her life, more and more is revealed about her writing, the connections between real life and art – and the workings of one of our greatest imaginations.
