Portrait of Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood is one of Canada's most acclaimed and versatile writers, celebrated for her incisive exploration of power, identity, and the human condition. Her novels, poetry, and essays blend sharp wit with a profound understanding of contemporary society, often weaving speculative or dystopian elements into narratives that feel unsettlingly close to reality.

Across her distinguished career, Atwood has garnered international recognition for works that challenge and captivate in equal measure. Whether reimagining myth, interrogating gender politics, or projecting the future's moral dilemmas, her storytelling remains both inventive and deeply humane-marking her as a defining voice in modern literature.

    Book SynopsisMargaret Atwood's witty and informative book focuses on the imaginative mystique of the wilderness of the Canadian North. She discusses the 'Grey Owl Syndrome' of white writers going native; the folklore arising from the mysterious-- and disastrous -- Franklin expedition of the nineteenth century; the myth of the dreaded snow monster, the Wendigo; the relations between nature writing and new forms of Gothic; and how a fresh generation of women writers in Canada have adapted the imagery of the Canadian North for the exploration of contemporary themes of gender, the family and sexuality. Writers discussed include Robert Service, Robertson Davies, Alice Munro, E.J. Pratt, Marian Engel, Margaret Laurence, and Gwendolyn MacEwan.This superbly written and compelling portrait of the mysterious North is at once a fascinating insight into the Canadian imagination, and an exciting new work from an outstanding literary presence.Trade Review[a] wittily patriotic collection of lectures * INDEPENDENT on Sunday *

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisBy the author of The Handmaid's Tale and DearlyTHE DOOR is Margaret Atwood's first book of poetry since the 1995 MORNING IN THE BURNED HOUSE. Its lucid yet urgent poems range in tone from lyric to ironic to meditative to prophetic, and in subject from the personal to the political viewed in its broadest sense. They investigate the mysterious writing of poetry itself, as well as the passage of time and our shared sense of mortality. As the New York Times has said, 'Atwood's poems are short, glistening with terse, bright images. . . ' A brave and compassionate book, THE DOOR interrogates the certainties that we build our lives on.'One of the best books by one of the best poets writing in English' TLSTrade ReviewOn the strength of The Door, we should regard Atwood as a poet first and foremost - just one who happens to be a highly regarded novelist * SUNDAY HERALD *One of the best books by one of the best poets writing in English, written in a sparse, elegaic tone that combines illuminating intelligence with caustic humour and wisdom * Alberto Manguel, TLS *Margaret Atwood is not only a riveting novelist, she is also a witty and inventive poet * THE TIMES *

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisFrom her days as a child reader in the 1940s, through her time at Harvard, where she studied the Victorian ancestors of the form, and later as a writer and reviewer, Margaret Atwood has always been fascinated with science fiction. Here she brings together three Ellmann lectures: 'Flying Rabbits' begins with her early rabbit superhero creations, and goes on to speculate about masks, capes, weakling alter egos and Things with Wings; 'Burning Bushes' travels into Victorian otherlands and beyond; and 'Dire Cartographies' investigates Utopias and Dystopias, including Atwood's own ventures into those constructions. In further essays Atwood explores and critiques the form, and elucidates the differences - as she sees them - between 'science fiction' proper, and 'speculative fiction', not to mention 'sword and sorcery', 'fantasy' and 'slipstream fiction'. In Other Worlds is a must.Trade ReviewEminently readable and accessible ... The lectures are insightful and cogently argued with a neat comic turn of phrase ... Her enthusiasm and level of intellectual engagement are second to none -- James Lovegrove Financial Times
