Focusing on six novels – .The Handmaid’s Tale. and .The Testaments., the .Maddaddam. trilogy, and .The Heart Goes Last. – Katarina Labudova explores the environmental, ecological, and cultural questions at play and the possible future scenarios which emerge for humanity’s survival in apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic conditions. Labudova argues that food has special relevance in these novels and that characters’ hunger, limited food choices, culinary creativity and eating rituals are central to Atwood’s depictions of hostile environments. She also links food to hierarchy, dominance and oppression in Atwood’s novels, and foregrounds the problem of hunger, both psychological or physical, caused by pollution and loss of contact with the natural and authentic. The book shows how Atwood’s writing draws from a range of genres, including apocalyptic fiction, science fiction, speculative fiction,dystopia, utopia, fairy tale, myth, and thriller – and how food is an important, highly versatile motif linking these intertextual threads.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | Literature and the Environment; Literature and Cultural Studies; Margaret Atwood; Dystopian Fiction; Con | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-19168-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-19168-8 | | copyright | The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022 |
