Margaret Atwood should fucking die

search:

surfacing, lady oracle, cat's eye, alias grace, survival, half of her essays

destroy:

her public persona (see above, and i never want to hear another cbc radio interview about her "longpen" or about how she's "blogging," go away), her last three books, the other half of her essays and nonfiction writing (incl recent "on debt" thing)

when did she say she wasn't a feminist; that is a baldfaced lie and totally lol!

Pretty sure she's just trying to say she disagrees with some elements of the feminist movement... I think she's known some very strident practitioners. This dates way back to interviews for Cat's Eye, but I remember her talking about being criticized by feminists for that book -- mostly for the negative female characters, iirc.

It's good to see the Edible Woman appreciation here. I love it, but thought it had been largely forgotten. It's my second favorite Atwood after Cat's Eye.

Surprising thing I learned today: Claude Jutra (director of Mon oncle Antoine) made a movie of Surfacing in 1981.

Anyone else looking forward to the TV adaptation of Handmaid's Tale?

Me!

really? you had to revive this thread to ask that !?

WTF with this thread title

And the first post! Can we possibly drop this thread, and revive something a little less grossly misogynistic and threatening? :|

for Handmaid's Tale talk I suggest:

Best Album from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale from the mixtapes the story is supposedly reconstructed from according to the Historical Notes in the back

for general Atwood I propose:

taking sides: munro vs atwood

yeah it's gross, lock thread

i'm sorry..didn't do it with bad intentions..

jesus christ.
