Margaret Atwood - Atunci și acum
Margaret Atwood - Then and now

Summary/Abstract: This text presents Margaret Atwood’s latest literary collection, Stone Mattress, translated into Romanian in 2023. The volume features nine "malicious stories" that blend universal themes with sharp critiques of contemporary ideologies, such as feminism, ageism, sexism, and shifts in literary values. Atwood’s narratives focus on aging characters confronting unresolved pasts and finding closure through acts of revenge, often within fantastical or psychological settings. The stories stand out for their subtle allusions, sarcasm, and incisive commentary on cultural trends and generational dynamics. Through this work, Atwood reaffirms her ability to adapt to changing times, offering a compelling critique of both past and present societal norms.
