NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠How does the greatest writer of our time tell her own story?
NAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
"The most spectacular, hilarious, and generous autobiography of the last quarter centuryâor ever."âThe Boston Globe
Raised by scientifically minded parents, Margaret 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 Catâs Eye to the unease of 1980s Berlin, where she began The Handmaidâs 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 artâand the workings of one of our very greatest imaginations.
