New book by Atwood…?
July 30, 2006
She’s one of my favourites, but I’m somehow always the last to hear about her newest works. Interview below–suffice it to say, I’ll be picking this up posthaste.

On another Atwood-related note, does it bother anyone else that she is often *solely* lauded for her feminist approach, strong female characters, forward-thinking ideas, etc.? All of that is there, it’s very true, but approaching it like that cheapens the realness and individuality of her characters and novels, as I see it.
I read Atwood for the poetry she weaves into every chapter–not the rhetoric she seems to be so well-loved for.
