December - Rogue Book Club - The Bloody Chamber

Post Christmas Rogue Bookclub - the usual roguing out and venting about Christmas at Nordvest ølbar at 7pm

The Bloody Chamber and other stories is a collection of re-appropriated Fairytales, which lets us question societal rules and roles including but not limited to gender and gender roles

Angela Carter reveals the dark heart of the fairy story in these memorably quirky versions. She is able to intensify the mythic core of each of these tales, not by stripping them down to their essentials (the obvious way) but by using eccentric, illuminative detail expressed in individualistic prose.

Although these versions could be described as feminist and anti-patriarchal, such labels are too limiting for the fierce independence of Carter's intelligence. She is a writer who never shrinks from acknowledging the transformative power of sexual passion--even if the object of that passion be unworthy or evil, even if the passion itself be dark and destructive.
