Kanadiske Margaret Atwood er en levende legende. Siden debuten i 1961 (diktsamlingen «Double Persephone») har hun mer enn 70 utgivelser bak seg, av poesi, novellesamlinger, romaner, barnebøker, essaysamlinger og opera-librettoer. Titler som «The Handmaid’s Tale» og MaddAddam-trilogien har gjort henne kjent verden over, og en rekke av bøkene hennes har blitt adaptert til film, TV, opera og ballett, og hun trekkes ofte fram som en av de store favorittene til å vinne Nobelprisen i litteratur.
Atwoods forfatterskap kjennetegnes av et brennende engasjement for verden rundt oss, både naturen og samfunnet. Hun har særlig markert seg med sine utforskninger av totalitarisme, patriarkalske strukturer og miljøødeleggelse, og er kjent for sin nærmest profetiske spekulative fiksjon, der hun har skildret temaer som innsnevring av kvinners rettigheter, en verdensomspennende pandemi og klimakollaps.
Til tross for sine 84 år, ser ikke Atwood ut til å trappe ned. Senest i fjor kom en ny, kritikerrost novellesamling, «Ryper i solnedgang» (til norsk ved Inger Gjelsvik). Litterært er Atwood fabulerende, uredd og original, med tydelige referanser til litteraturhistorien, enten det er klassiske tekster, eventyr, eller forfattere som William Shakespeare og George Orwell. Litteraturen hennes inneholder ofte elementer fra historiske hendelser, og peker samtidig framover mot nye verdener og nye muligheter.
Når Atwood nå gjester Litteraturhuset, flytter vi arrangementet til selveste Den Norske Opera og Ballett, slik at flest mulig kan få med seg det unike besøket. I Operaen møter Atwood journalist og forfatter Karin Haugen til samtale om sitt omfangsrike forfatterskap, om historie, samtid, og profetiske fortellinger.
Samtalen vil være på engelsk.
ENGLISH:
Canadian author Margaret Atwood is a living legend. Since her debut in 1961 (the poetry collection "Double Persephone"), she has published more than 70 books of poetry, short story collections, novels, children’s books, essay collections and even opera librettos. Stories like "The Handmaid’s Tale" and the MaddAddam trilogy have made her world famous, and a number of her books have been adapted to film, TV, opera and ballet, and she is regularly a favorite for the Nobel prize in literature.
Atwood’s body of work is characterized by a strong passion for the natural world and for human societies and democratic institutions. She has truly made her mark with her literary explorations of totalitarianism, patriarchal structures and environmental destruction, and is known for her almost prophetic speculative fiction, set in societies curbing women’s rights or experiencing a worldwide pandemic or environmental collapse.
Despite her 84 years, Atwood shows no signs of slowing down. Only last year, she published the critically acclaimed short story collection "Babes in the Wood". In her literature, Atwood is mischievous, fearless and original, frequently incorporating elements from classical texts, fairytales and works by writers like William Shakespeare or George Orwell. While her books often include elements from historical events, they also suggest new worlds and possibilities for the future.
When Atwood now visits the House of Literature, the event will take place in the Oslo Opera House, to allow as many as possible to take part in this unique evening. At the Opera House, Atwood will be joined by journalist and writer Karin Haugen for a conversation about the past and the present, prophetic stories and her unique body of work.
