Blurb

Povestirea cameristei este un roman distopic, o operă de science-fiction sau de ficțiune speculativă. Romanul este scris de autoarea canadiană Margaret Atwood și publicat prima oară de către editura McClelland and Stewart în 1985. Amplasat în viitorul apropiat, într-o teocrație totalitară, care a răsturnat guvernul Statelor Unite, Povestirea Cameristei explorează tema subjugării femeii. Titlul romanului a fost inspirat de colecția de povestiri The Canterbury Tales scrisă de Geoffrey Chaucer, serie care conține povestiri conectate între ele.

Beklemmend, frustrierend, beängstigend. Aktuelle Entwicklungen sorgen dafür, dass diese Dystopie realer wird als einem lieb ist.

You will, in equal parts, enjoy the book, squirm uncomfortably, and be horrified when you read it!

I didn't like it. Yes, I can see the point it was trying to make. And yes, the concept did truly scare me. It was so surreal at times because I could definitely picture these things happening in society. As a woman, this book unnerved me. However, this book was so oddly written. It used a weird prose, half poetic, half lazy and blunt. The story felt disjointed and all over the place. Also, why does the author hate quotation marks so badly? What did they ever do to her? I struggled to get through this. I wanted to give up several times but I was just waiting for it to get better. It never did really. The conclusion was very unsatisfying. This book was upsetting. Also, I'm not really sure why this is considered a feminist book when it doesn't really seem like the women ever came out on top. Whatever we do, don't let Trump read this book. I don't want him getting any ideas.
