    A must read for Feminists
  

*by J***) on Reviewed in India on 1 August 2018*

"The Bloody Chamber  and other Stories" is my first Angela Carter .It is an anthology of ten mesmerising feminist themed stories based on popular characters from fairy tales ,fables and myth.So ,we have Blue Beard ,the Erl King,Snow White,Puss in Boots ,Werewolves and Vampires all jostling with each other in the pages of this slim and fascinating volume.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨I was left with the realization that Carter is probably one of the best feminist writers of this century , next to Virginia Wolfe.Carter does not hold anything back in these stories.Her stories are raw ,sensual and explore the themes of female sexuality and it's awakening ,how our menstruation plays a great deal in our lives ,the desire men blatantly have for women ("Some eyes can eat you up" ,as she writes in the Erl King),the objectification of women ,the idealization men have for the perfect woman (does she even exist?),and the roles of women as victimizers and victims in a continuous cycle of persecution from others and also from themselves .✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨I have often felt that the hand that delivers the  most cruel cut to a woman is generally from the hands of another woman (even our mothers ,though no one wants to discuss this possibility.After all,motherhood is supposed to be sacrosanct !!!)and this idea is explored in "Child of Snow " and "The Werewolf".The most disturbing story was "The Tigers Bride ",where she establishes the fact that in order to be really happy ,women need to shed their inhibitions and live away from the rules and norms of traditional society.We are after all dolls in the hands of men  because very often we are capable of taking decisions wholly knowing the implications just because we are forced to and there is no other escape route ."The Lady in the House of Love" "was most frightening and "Puss in Boots "was humorous enough to show us that you can never underestimate a woman however quiet and demure she may be.😂✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Carter's writing has  rich  vocabulary ,lush ,dense and exquisite prose and powerful imagery that you will find difficult to erase from your mind .A wonderful collection that protrays  the enigma a woman really is in all her glorious shades .

    A fantastic re-telling of classic fairytales. A must-read.
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in India on 29 June 2020*

I have always believed that authors are know for their voice more than their stories. And very few have been really able to establish theirs in a way that remains unforgettable through ages. For instance, Poe, Tolkein, Wodehouse, King, Carroll, Marquez, etc. When I stumbled past an excerpt of Carter's Bloody Chambers, I got a feeling that she was leagues apart many from her age. And I picked up 'The Bloody Chambers and Other Stories' before my curiosity had died down.Those following my blog probably already know how much I love Short stories as a genre. That said, reviewing a collection is no easy task. Because you have to be fair to every story, and like any other collection, there are always some stories you love more than others. Giving a collective fair rating is thus, tough. In Carter's 'Bloody Chambers and Other Stories', it wasn't that tedious at all, because all the stories are equally stunning.This collection contains ten stories - The Bloody Chamber, The Courtship of Mr Lyon, The Tiger's Bride, Puss-in-Boots, The Erl-King, The Snow Child, The Lady of the House of Love, The Werewolf, The Company of Wolves, and Wolf-Alice. I loved The Snow-Child, The Lady of the House of Love, The Erl-King, and the titular The Bloody Chamber, more than the rest.In her outstanding revisiting of the classic fairytales; and mind you, I am not saying retelling because although Carter's inspiration maybe those childhood tales we grew up listening too, the plots are distinct and no way related, what makes her writing stand out is the powerful evocative language, luscious imagery of landscapes, paired with the rare play of words that invites the reader on an adventurous journey than a mere reading experience. Her imagination is vivid and gripping, and her choice of words make the prose not just powerfully memorable, but one that excites you to reread the tale over and over again.Underlying themes such as desire, rape, sexuality, eroticism, dominance, physical violence, sex, gothicism, etc., were tad unexpected because when you think fairytales, you have certain preconceived notions of what the plots might entail. But these turned out to be pretty little packages of surprise with feminist spins making our heroines much more powerful and at times, savage, brutally so. They are no more the damsels in distress waiting for the knight, but pretty galant fighters themselves.Carter is quite the prodigious when it comes to burning the stereotypes in their bed, pillaging the traditional tales off their idealistic albeit dumb charm, and rescuing the famous female characters through new modern means of sexual or psychological liberation, imparting them the freedom as the modern world deems fit. She doesn't care pulling reins on her free-willed; at times, wayward women, and pretty much enjoys their extravaganzas. These tales will most certainly change your outlook toward the classic by notches, and if you have the heart to segregate the mesmerising from the morbid, these tales are most certainly for you. That said, I would shy away from recommending Carter's compelling collection to kids, not yet! I'd rather have them enjoy their nights while they can, and the monsters can wait!
