Critical verdict A writer of impressive variety - she has done Bildungsroman (Cat's Eye), sci-fi (Handmaid's Tale) and Victoriana (Alias Grace) - she excels in open-ended stories of the enigmatic woman. Critically feted worldwide, she has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times and finally won it in 2000 with The Blind Assassin, a multilayered family memoir and meditation on narrative and female bondage.

Inside Jam Search Jam! Books Jam! Music Jam! Movies Jam! TV ... Help Thursday, December 17, 1998 Atwood not bugged about insect's name By SHANNON HAWKINS Ottawa Sun Margaret Atwood is bug crazy. Growing up with a scientist as a father, the renowned author developed an affinity for all creepy crawly creatures. But it wasn't until yesterday she was able to come face to face with one that bears her family name. Metamasius atwoodi, a large red and black beetle in the weevil family found on a small Costa Rican island, was yesterday named after Dr. Carl Atwood by the Museum of Nature during the launch of the Nature Discovery Fund. The fund will finance the exploration of relatively undiscovered or poorly explored areas in Canada in the quest to uncover different species of insects. The museum chose Atwood to launch the fund because one of its scientists, Dr. Robert Anderson, had fond memories of dealing with her father. As a child, Anderson found a tagged Monarch butterfly and when he called the University of Toronto, it was Carl Atwood on the other end. "It was Dr. Atwood who took my phone call and requested the information come directly from me," said Anderson.

Study Guide to Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale Using this Guide List of other study guides Doing research on science fiction? Check out the Science Fiction Research Bibliography. For more information on feminist SF, see the Introduction Epigraphs Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 ... Historical Notes Many readers are surprised to hear Atwood's novel labeled science fiction, but it belongs squarely in the long tradition of near-future dystopias which has made up a large part of SF since the early50s. SF need not involve technological innovation: it has been a long-standing principle that social change can provide the basis for SF just as well as technical change. The Handmaid's Tale is partly an extrapolation of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, But another social controversy also underlies this novel. During the early 80s a debate raged (and continues to rage, on a lower level) about feminist attitudes toward sexuality and pornography in particular. Outspoken feminists have taken all kinds of positions: that all erotica depicting women as sexual objects is demeaning, that pornography was bad though erotica can be good, that although most pornography is demeaning the protection of civil liberties is a greater good which requires the toleration of freedom for pornographers, however distasteful, even that such a thing as feminist pornography can and should be created. The sub-theme of this tangled debate which seems to have particularly interested and alarmed Atwood is the tendency of some feminist anti-porn groups to ally themselves with religious anti-porn zealots who oppose the feminists on almost every other issue. The language of "protection of women" could slip from a demand for more freedom into a retreat from freedom, to a kind of neo-Victorianism. After all, it was the need to protect "good" women from sex that justified all manner of repression in the 19th century, including confining them to the home, barring them from participating in the arts, and voting. Contemporary Islamic women sometimes argue that assuming the veil and traditional all-enveloping clothing is aimed at dealing with sexual harassment and sexual objectification. The language is feminist, but the result can be deeply patriarchal, as in this novel.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" MARGARET ATWOOD IDEA-IDEA by C h r i s t i a n C a r d e l l C o r b e t (24"x 48", acrylic on canvas and butterflies) In the summer of 1998 Canadian artist Christian Cardell Corbet received word from Margaret Atwood's personal secretary that he was granted authorization from the legendary Canadian writer to create her portrait. This decision came after a lengthy process of written communications, and then with the offering of reproductions of Corbet's previous portrait work. Due to Atwood's schedule, the writer would not be able to sit for Corbet but instead offered Corbet an original photographic portrait from which she wished to be depicted. Before any initial sketches were even thought about, Corbet set forth to do extensive research on Atwood's career. Initial sketches for the portrait commenced in the Autumn of 1998. Drawings, mono prints, collages and paintings were created in a variety of compositions in order to get a proper feel for the subject's true inner character. It was not until February of 1999 that Corbet finally hit upon the exacting composition that he was looking for and work begun on the initial design of the painting. At first, however, Corbet had only created the lower canvas which cropped Atwood's hair. After some deliberation, a second canvas was added to the top to complete Corbet's design. The colour that would be used was already set in Corbet's mind - he would employ black acrylic paint on white canvas. Corbet made this decision after understanding that most of the public identify with Atwood in print form - black ink on white paper. The checkered background represents the pages of an open book. The depiction of Atwood's hair as a ball of flames represents the source from which her energy comes.

38. INTERVIEW WITH MARGARET ATWOOD By Raymond H. Thompson in the series 'Thompson's Interviews with Authors of Modern Arthurian Literature'. http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/intrvws/atwood.htm

Return to the Contents Page of Thompson's Interviews with Authors of Modern Arthurian Literature INTERVIEW WITH MARGARET ATWOOD by RAYMOND H. THOMPSON TORONTO 25 MARCH 1991 This interview was the only one in the collection where I encountered technical difficulties with the taping process. Whether the tape was affected by airport security machines, the tape recorder malfunctioned, or (more likely) I failed to press the correct buttons on it, I ended up with a blank tape. I reconstructed what I could remember of Atwood's responses to my questions, but could produce, regrettably, little more than a summary, even though she was kind enough to add a few clarifications. Since Atwood could recall few details about the composition of her Arthurian work, an early sequence of seven short poems entitled "Avalon Revisited" that was published in The Fiddlehead , 55 (1963), 10-13, the result is a very brief account indeed. After the difficulties we had arranging the interview, this is a disappointment, but I remain grateful to the author for finding the time to talk to me on a chilly March afternoon in Toronto about poetry she had forgotten she ever wrote. Having gone on to establish herself among the foremost of contemporary authors, Atwood looks back on this early work as little more than one part of the process of finding her own voice as a writer. It offers, nonetheless, a fascinating glimpse of a stage in the development of an important figure in the field of contemporary literature.

Berlin Verlag, 620 Seiten, ISBN: 3827000122 Ersch. 1996 unter dem Titel "Alias Grace" Aus dem Englischen 1996 von Brigitte Walitzek Die Autorin: Margaret Atwood wurde 1939 in Ottawa geboren Weitere Titel: Die essbare Frau / Der Report der Magd / Unter Glas / Alias Grace / Der blinde Mörder Grace Marks weiß, dass sie den Rest ihres Lebens im Gefängnis verbringen wird - verurteilt zu dieser Strafe für den Mord an Thomas Kinnear, ihrem Arbeitgeber, und dessen Haushälterin Nancy. Gemeinsam mit dem Knecht soll sie diese Morde begangen haben - nur sie selbst kann sich nicht dran erinnern. Trotz der überwältigenden Beweise ist es auch schwer vorstellbar, dass diese zarte, sensible Person an zwei derartigen Greueltaten beteiligt gewesen sein sollte. Nach etlichen Jahren im Gefängnis und auch in der Psychiatrie ist sie zwar immer noch inhaftiert, darf jedoch im Haushalt des Gefängnisdirektors als Hausmädchen arbeiten - getrieben von der Lust der Direktorsgattin, sich ein bisschen Nervenkitzel in die Wohnung zu holen. Und hier begegnet sie auch Doktor Simon Jordan, der an ihr eine neuartige Methode anwenden will, um zu den tief verschütteten Geheimnissen ihres Geistes vorzudringen und damit vielleicht aufzuklären, was an jenem Tag wirklich geschah....

Margaret Atwood P oeta y novelista canadiense. Nacida en Ottawa, estudió en las universidades de Toronto, el Radcliffe College y de Harvard. Escribe desde muy joven, y empieza a publicar poemas cuando tenía 19 años. Su primer libro de poesía, Double Persephone , apareció en 1961. Continuó escribiendo mientras enseñaba literatura inglesa en diversas universidades canadienses (1964-1972) y como lectora en la Universidad de Toronto (1972-1973). Obtuvo reconocimiento internacional con la publicación de The Edible Woman (1969), a la que siguieron muchas otras, como Resurgir Lady Oracle Life Before Man Ojo de gato (1989), y The Robber Bride (1993). Aunque algunas de sus obras han sido calificadas de feministas por parte de la crítica, Atwood señala que ella empezó a ocuparse de asuntos como la llegada a la madurez de las mujeres a los 50 años y de los cambios de los papeles de los sexos antes de que estos temas fueran popularizados por los movimientos de liberación de la mujer. La respuesta crítica a los libros de poemas de Atwood fue favorable, en especial con Power Politics (1971) y You Are Happy The Circle Game (1966) ganó el Premio del Gobernador General de Canadá en el apartado de poesía, como ocurrió en el apartado de narrativa con
