Margaret Atwood has written a sequel to The Handmaid's Tale.
瑪格麗特•阿特伍德完成了《使女的故事》續集。
Titled The Testaments, the book will be published next year, more than 30 years after the original was released in 1985. Atwood confirmed the news on T, revealing it will be available to purchase in September 2019.
書名叫做《Testaments》,將於明年出版,距上一次1985年版本已隔30年。阿特伍德也在推特上確認了該消息,說將於2019年9月上市。
Instead of charting the events seen in the Elisabeth Moss-starring TV adaptation (the second season of which continues past the original novel), the follow-up will be set 15 years after the final scene in Atwood's book and told from the perspective of three female characters. It's currently unknown whether one of these will be Offred.
不同於由伊莉莎白·莫斯主演的電視版本所講的故事(第二季維持了原著情節),這本書將把時間設定在劇版的15年後,以三位女性的角度講述故事,目前還不知道三位中會不會有電視中的主角Offred。
Atwood shared her intentions behind a new Handmaid's Tale novel in a statement, saying it has been inspired by 「the world we've been living in」 in recent years.
阿特伍德分享了新版《使女的故事》小說背後的寫作意圖,說靈感來源於當代「我們生活著的世界」。
「Everything you've ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book. Well, almost everything! The other inspiration is the world we've been living in,」 Atwood said.
「任何關於基列共和國和相關作品都是這本書的靈感,其他靈感來源於我們生活著的當代世界。」
Speculation of a follow-up was rife after Atwood released an audiobook of The Handmaid's Tale which came accompanied with a special extended version of the epilogue in which a professor tells a crowd many years after the book's events: 「I hope to be able to present the results of our further Gileadian investigations to you at some future date.」
阿特伍德發布有聲書時同步發布了加長版後記,在後記中,一位教授告訴人們:「我希望未來能為大家呈現基列共和國的調查結果。」由此,續集的猜測此起彼伏。
It seems Atwood's sequel will do exactly that.
阿特伍德的續集似乎確實要給出結果了。
