Interpretation Supposing Books Lady Oracle

Joan Foster is the bored wife of a myopic ban-the-bomber.  She takes off overnight as Canada's new superpoet, pens lurid gothics on the sly, attracts a blackmailing reporter, skids cheerfully in and out of menacing plots, hair-raising traps, and passionate trysts, and lands dead and well in Terremoto, Italy.  In this remarkable, poetic, and magical novel, Margaret Atwood proves yet again why she is considered to be one of the most important and accomplished writers of our time.

Evaluation Out Of Books Lady Oracle

Ive read quite a lot of Margaret Atwood and very much enjoy her writing, both style and issues she raises. I like her in psychological scene and dont shy away from her dystopian face either. Lady Oracle is her earlier work and truly didnt know what to expect there. I also have a problem to what genre the novel in fact belongs. She seems to feel comfortable in gothic romance, black comedy and quasi-noir novel though it's the psychological portrait and depth I'm looking for in her novels. It

This was my second read of Atwood's third novel, and, alas, I didn't find it as witty or as funny as I did the first time around.It's about Joan Foster, a writer of Gothic romances, who has found her real life getting so out of control that she has had to fake her own death to start anew.Joan's ability to keep secrets and live in a fantasy world comes naturally to her. She's used to living a double life. She grew up with a weight problem, and was bullied by everyone from her mother to her

I planned my death carefully, unlike my life, which meandered along from one thing to another, despite my feeble attempts to control it.Sometimes you come across a book whose story is neither mind-blowing nor has crazy plot twists, but that's still truly enjoyable and delightfully written.In brief, Lady Oracle was that book.In the beginning, we know a little about Joan Foster's current situation: she has forged as death so she could take control over her life once again. This may sound like a

This book really pissed me off. I guess there's no real character arc. The main character starts out weak, unself-aware and just really messed up (for plenty of good reason, so I did sympathize with her) -- but nothing has really changed by the end of the book. She's still messed up and unself-aware. Ugh. The whole book made me feel really impatient and uncomfortable. I felt kind of sick and nervous the whole time I was reading it, as if doom was just around the corner. That probably says a lot

4.5 stars! I did love this but I feel like there was *something* missing that I cant quite put my finger on. Otherwise, classic Atwood, witty, sharp, relentless

I'm an Atwood fan, but I struggled with this one. It seemed to go fast forward for a while, and then it slowed and almost went into reverse. I admired and laughed at the intertwined stories of the main character's "real" life and her "Gothic bodice rippers." That was the best, and her sense of humor was subtle and poignant throughout. The big message was that the fat girl never gets over being fat. That can apply to anything in our young lives: we're too fat, we're too skinny, we don't have a

This is one of those books that makes you feel kind of intellectual, but doesn't take any effort at all to slip into. Who can't relate to wanting to escape the life that you've built, or let happen, around you, at least from time to time? Atwood is such an accomplished writer that the themes are almost secondary to her skill with the language. A pure pleasure to read.
