The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.

这个题材是我很感兴趣的,也觉得整个概念很好。但是作者大量的描写一些环境,感觉,让人觉得整本书很空洞,情节也没有很大的推进,没头没尾的感觉。

读原版书像一场潜行,潜入字符迷宫中,会一头雾水会一知半解也有抓住主旨的时刻,但因为内容还是有很多读的很苦很累的时刻,可能更小一点我会更受惊,现在的我更加习得了不较真。anyway一本迷幻深刻的书。

整本书的阅读体验就是温水煮青蛙一般的绝望,最后的历史笔记非常精彩,看的时候很想冲进书里冲这个学者大喊“未经他人苦,少在这里大言不惭”,也许这也是作者想带给我们的体验吧。

先看了剧以为会是一个高度戏剧化的故事,但阿特伍德的原著专注于描写日常生活的仪式,如此细碎又如此真实,结尾部分借用18世纪小说常见手法,将整本书看做一份手稿,让人觉得基列国真的存在过。准备接着读《证言》。

看完剧再看书就觉得意犹未尽
