Sinopsis
From the author ofThe Handmaids TaleandAlias Grace
*
Rabbit superheroes. A theory of masks and capes. Victorian otherlands.
From her 1940s childhood to her time at Harvard, Margaret Atwood has always been fascinated with SF. In 2010, she delivered a lecture series at Emory University called In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination. This book is the result of those lectures. It includes essays on Ursula Le Guin and H G Wells, her interesting distinction between science fiction proper and speculative fiction, and the letter which she wrote to the school which tried to ban The Handmaids Tale.
