À propos de ce titre

For Penelope, wife of Odysseus, maintaining a kingdom while her husband was off fighting the Trojan war was not a simple business. Already aggrieved that he had been lured away due to the shocking behaviour of her beautiful cousin Helen, Penelope must bring up her wayward son, face down scandalous rumours and keep over a hundred lustful, greedy and bloodthirsty suitors at bay...

And then, when Odysseus finally returns and slaughters the murderous suitors, he brutally hangs Penelope's twelve beloved maids. What were his motives? And what was Penelope really up to?

Critically acclaimed when it was first published as part of Canongate's Myth series, and following a very successful adaptation by the RSC, this new edition of The Penelopiad sees Margaret Atwood give Penelope a modern and witty voice to tell her side of the story, and set the record straight for good.

Avis de la critique

"As potent as a curse"
"Fabulous . . . Determinedly irreverent"
"A witty desecration . . . Atwood plays with vigour and ingenuity"
"Atwood takes Penelope's part with tremendous verve . . . she explores the very nature of mythic story-telling" (MARY BEARD)
"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"

The dry wit was refreshing, another perspective - female - and from the other side of the “river”.

Wholly engaging - narration style “female David Sedaris”.
