How does the greatest writer of our time tell her own story? Immerse
yourself in the creative universe of Margaret Atwood for a riot of
life, art and everything in between
Every writer is at least two beings: the one who lives, and the one who
writes
Raised by scientifically minded parents, Atwood spent most of each year
in the wild forest of northern Quebec: a vast playground for her
entomologist father and independent, resourceful mother. It was an
unfettered and nomadic childhood, sometimes isolated but also thrilling
and beautiful.
From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life,
linking key moments to the books that have shaped our literary
landscape, from the cruel school year that would become Cat’s Eye to
the unease of 1980s Berlin, where she began The Handmaid’s Tale. In
pages alive with the natural world, reading and books, major political
turning points and her lifelong love for the charismatic writer Graeme
Gibson, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood stars and larger-than-life
characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.
As she explores her past, Atwood reveals more and more about her
writing, the connections between real life and art – and the workings
of one of our boldest imaginations.
