• Margaret Atwood (1939-) is the most prominent feminine writer in Canada who won the Booker Prize in 2000 for her The Blind Assassin. In her short fictions and prose poems, such as Murder in the Dark (1983) and Good Bones and Simple Murders (1994), Atwood presents her thought and techniques on writing. Darkness means a mysterious treasury or a labyrinth which allows to generate imaginative and creative power for both the author and the readers. Trapped in the device she has plotted and designed, we are irresistibly indulged in creating fictions with her. She leads us to her dark space and makes visible the things which are usually hidden under the surface. While following her pages, sometimes going under them, through an enchanting sequence of her poetic prose, we are exposed to the verisimilitudes of, or the absolute truth of human beings. In this paper, I will try to analyze her postmodernistic and metafictional literary techniques as exhibited in her fragmental masterpieces that are collected in MD, and GBSM.
