Omschrijving
A feminist retelling, Penelope's slyly brilliant side of the story, from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Blind Assassin and The Handmaid's Tale Margaret Atwood
Atwood takes Penelope's part with tremendous verve . . . she explores the very nature of mythic story-telling
As potent as a curse
Fabulous . . . Determinedly irreverent
A witty desecration . . . Atwood plays with vigour and ingenuity
Pragmatic, clever, domestic, mournful, Penelope is a perfect Atwood heroine
Half Dorothy Parker, half Desperate Housewives
Atwood and all authors named above are able to grasp the female experience perfectly in myths dominated by men, creating beautifully rounded and realistic characters from those created as ornaments and prizes by Homer
Nothing short of genius
Margaret Atwood is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry and critical essays. In addition to the classic The Handmaid's Tale, her novels include Cat's Eye, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Alias Grace, which won the Giller Prize in Canada and the Premio Mondello in Italy, The Blind Assassin, winner of the 2000 Booker Prize and Oryx and Crake, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. She was awarded the Prince of Asturias Prize for Literature in 2008. In 2017, The Handmaid's Tale was adapted for an Emmy-nominated TV series and Alias Grace was adapted into a Netflix Original.
