The Handmaid's Tale 是加拿大作家 Margaret Atwood 于 1985 年出版的反乌托邦小说。故事设定在近未来的新英格兰，一个推翻了美国政府的强烈父权制极权神权国家——基列共和国（Republic of Gilead）。故事的核心人物兼叙述者是一位名叫 Offred 的女性，她是被称为“handmaids”的群体中的一员，该群体被强迫为基列的统治男性阶层——“commanders”生育子女。小说探讨了父权社会中女性遭受压迫、女性能动性与个体特性的丧失，以及

一堆反乌托邦和架空世界科幻（按最近阅读的倒序排）：1)《使女的故事》2)《去当巫师吧》3)《三体》4)《好兆头》5)《我们是军团（我们是鲍勃）》6)《美国众神》7)《头号玩家》这些我都挺喜欢的，不过尼尔·盖曼的那几本是……
Lots of dystopian and alternate world sci-fi (most recently read first): 1) The Handmaid’s Tale 2) Off to be the Wizard 3) The Three-Body Problem 4) Good Omens 5) We Are Legion (We Are Bob) 6) American Gods 7) Ready Player One I really enjoyed all of these, though the Neil Gaiman books are…
……其中理念才是核心部分，比如《雪崩》；而第二类则是把科幻部分当作一种工具/手法，用来揭示和探讨人性或某些深刻的哲学问题，比如《索拉里斯星》、《使女的故事》或者小詹姆斯·提普垂的故事（你一定要去读《休斯敦，休斯敦，你收到了吗？》）。第二类作品其实不需要去推销什么宏大概念或意识形态。事实上，对其中大多数来说，科幻……
…wherein the idea is the important part, e.g. Snow Crash; and Type-II, where the the SF part is just an artifice to expose and explore aspects of humanity or some deep philosophical issue, e.g. Solaris, The Handmaid's Tale or the stories of James Tiptree Jr. (you've got to read "Houston, Houston Do You Read"). Works of the second type don't really need to push big ideas or ideologies. In fact, for most of these, the SF…
1) 山本弘的《艾比斯之梦》（我几乎每年都要重读一次） 2) 约翰·斯卡尔齐的《末日迷途》 3) 玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《使女的故事》 我有种预感，我现在正在读的这本书——汤姆·罗伯·史密斯的《44号孩子》，要是读完了的话可能也会上榜（说不定明天就加上了）。
1) The Stories of Ibis by Hiroshi Yamamoto (my almost-annual re-reading) 2) The Collapsing Empire - John Scalzi 3) The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood I have a feeling the book I am reading now - Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith might have been on this list if I had finished it (and might still be tomorrow).
……我平时常看的那堆科幻小说和食谱，转而去读女性作者的书。每本都强烈推荐：1. 简·奥斯汀《傲慢与偏见》2. 艾米莉·勃朗特《呼啸山庄》3. 玛格丽特·阿特伍德《使女的故事》 编辑：调整了换行
…my usual collection of science fiction and cookbooks to read books from female authors. I strongly recommend each: 1. Pride and Prejudiced by Jane Austen 2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte 3. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood edit: line breaks
……把她的一本诗集（《珀涅罗珀记》）推荐给了一位本身就很有才华的诗人朋友。她说这书看得很让她恼火：这可是她穷尽一生想要达到的境界，而阿特伍德信手拈来就写出来了。我很高兴《使女的故事》让她被更多读者所认识。就凭那本书，她很容易被随手归入“类型小说”，而她的其他大多数小说也很容易被归为“小妞文学（chick lit）”。但她真的是在散文写作上极具天赋的……
…book of her poetry (Penelopiad) to a friend of mine, a talented poet herself. She said it made her angry: this was what she'd been aiming for her whole life, and Atwood made it look easy. I'm glad that Handmaid's Tale has brought her to a wider audience. It would be easy for her to be shunted into "genre fiction" for that book, or into "chick lit" for most of her other novels. But she's one of the most gifted prose…
……《美丽新世界》和《1984》与前两者完全不同，彼此之间也截然不同。我超爱反乌托邦小说，所以读了巨多。在这个类型里，我目前最喜欢的作家是玛格丽特·阿特伍德（《使女的故事》和《羚羊与秧鸡》）。所以我觉得，如果你其实不太喜欢看对未来持悲观视角的推想小说，也许你只需要读其中一本就行了（大概率是《1984》，因为它是……
…Brave New World and 1984 are completely different from the former to, and from each other. I love dystopian fiction, so I've read tons of it. My current favorite writer in the genre is Margaret Atwood ("Handmaid's Tale" and "Oryx and Crake"). So I guess if you don't really enjoy reading speculative fiction with a gloomy outlook on the future, maybe you only need to read one of them (probably 1984, since it's the one…
