Though everything written must have passed through their minds, or mind, they are not the same."  Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents--entomologist father, dietitian mother--Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec. This childhood was unfettered and nomadic, sometimes isolated (on her eighth birthday: "It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn."), but also thrilling and beautiful.  From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel year that spawned Cat's Eye to the Orwellian 1980s Berlin where she wrote The Handmaid's Tale. In pages bursting with bohemian gatherings, her magical life with the wildly charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and major political turning points, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood actors and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.  As we travel with her along the course of her life, more and more is revealed about her writing, the connections between real life and art--and the workings of one of our greatest imaginations.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C2275933</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C2275933</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atwood, Margaret]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2275933067</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Sorts</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217170111/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Book of Lives]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • NAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR BY <i>THE NEW YORK TIMES</i> AND <i>THE WASHINGTON POST • How does the greatest writer of our time tell her own story?</i></b><br><b>"The most spectacular, hilarious, and generous autobiography of the last quarter century–or ever."—<i>The Boston Globe</i></b><br>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.

Riding high on bestseller lists for months and the basis for Hulu's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning smash hit series, The Handmaid's Tale is everywhere--and it's primed for a stunning new graphic novel adaptation. The story is iconic: In the Republic of Gilead, a Handmaid named Offred lives in the home of the Commander, to the purpose that she become pregnant with his child. Stripped of her most basic freedoms, (work, property, her own name), Offred remembers a different time, not so long ago, when she was valuable for more than her viable ovaries, when she was mother to a daughter she could keep, and when she and her husband lived and loved as equals. Darkly prescient, scathingly sarcastic, and eminently frightening, The Handmaid's Tale has only gained relevance since it was originally published, and remains one of the most powerful, widely read stories of our times. This illustrated edition is a must-have for Atwood's growing legions of fans"--]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C1996670</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C1996670</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atwood, Margaret]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1996670067</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385539241/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Handmaid's Tale]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Season Five of the Handmaid's Tale, June faces consequences for killing Commander Waterford while struggling to redefine her identity and purpose.

The volume starts with an overview of the author's biography and the relationship of her writing to relevant literary traditions. Because Atwood is internationally renowned, many commentaries ignore the Canadian roots of her work. Nathalie Cooke corrects this oversight by sketching the ways in which her work is shaped by, and has shaped, the Canadian literary scene. As the author of a full-length Atwood biography, Cooke is able to summarize feminist, Canadian nationalist, and postmodern influences on Atwood's work and on her development as a writer. The book offers close scrutiny of three illustrative works: Cat's Eye as the artist novel, The Handmaid's Tale as a dystopian novel, and The Blind Assassin as a villainess novel."--BOOK JACKET.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C765554</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C765554</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cooke, Nathalie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/765554067</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Critical Companion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780313328060/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Negotiating With the Dead]]></title><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C426286</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C426286</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atwood, Margaret]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/426286067</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Writer on Writing</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780521662604/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
