Bold Type: Margaret Atwood
Features an interview with Atwood, an audio clip, and an excerpt from the novel Alias Grace.
http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0597/atwood/

Extractions: A good historical novel is not easy to write: only thorough research and keen attention to detail can create a story which plausibly and accurately invokes the past. In Alias Grace, Margaret Atwood does just that with the tale of Grace Marks, one of Canada's most notorious female criminals. A servant girl convicted of murdering her employer in the 1840s, Grace tells her story in a remarkably vivid voice, from her childhood in Ireland to the hardships of being a servant and a member of the underclass in colonial Canada. In this issue, Atwood shares with us some thoughts about her work on Alias Grace and the reaction it has received, and her editor, Nan Talese, tells Bold Type what it's like to work with this mischeviously clever writer. You'll also find an excerpt from Alias Grace, as well as a special Bold Type exclusive: a letter from a friend of Thomas Kinnear, whose murder is at the center of Alias Grace, to Kinnear's family in Scotland, informing them of his death and the circumstances surrounding it.

Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey-with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake-through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.

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

Extractions: 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.

For ever." Ottawa, Ontario University of Toronto, Harvard Waitress, lecturer The Handmaid's Tale was banned in some US high schools. A writer of impressive variety - she has done Bildungsroman (Cat's Eye), sci-fi (The 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. The Handmaid's Tale ("One man was absolutely convinced that The Handmaid's Tale was autobiographical. I said, 'But it's about the future.' He said, 'You could not have written about this unless something like it had happened to you'") is required reading; Alias Grace shows a writer at the height of her powers.

Margaret Atwood, Gertrude Talks Back, Rewriting Canonical Portrayals Of Women
Essay by Pilar Cuder Dom nguez, Universidad de Huelva.
http://www.literature-study-online.com/essays/atwood-gertrude.html

Extractions: In her collection of short stories, Good Bones (O. W. Toad, 1992), Margaret Atwood (1939 - ) has included Gertrude Talks Back , a piece that rewrites the famous closet scene in Shakespeares Hamlet . The character of Hamlets mother has posed problems of interpretation to readers, critics and performers, past and present, and has been variously or simultaneosly appraised as a symbol of female wantonness, the object of Hamlets Oedipus complex, and an example of female submissiveness to the male principle (Hamlets as much as Claudiuss). Like other revisionist rewritings produced by women writers in the last few decades, Margaret Atwoods short story challenges received concepts of the female, and particularly the "Frailty, thy name is woman" notion that has marked so much canonical literature. Revisionist rewritings are one of the strategies that can serve that purpose; I need not mention the by now many rewritings of such canonical texts as

Extractions: Communities OAS_AD('Top'); Tuesday, Sep 12, 2000 15:11 ET By Karen Houppert Margaret Atwood poses a provocative question in her new novel, "The Blind Assassin." How much are the bad turns of one's life determined by things beyond our control, like sex and class, and how much by personal responsibility? Unlike most folks who raise this question so that they can wag their finger she's made her bed, and so on Atwood's foray into this moral terrain is complex and surprising. Far from preaching to the converted, Atwood's cunning tale assumes a like-minded reader only so that she can argue, quite persuasively, from the other side. Iris, the elderly protagonist who narrates this story of her family's life, starts with a dispassionate observation: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge." When a police officer suggested that the brakes failed, Iris says, she nodded in agreement, but believed otherwise. "It wasn't the brakes, I thought. She had her reasons. Not that they were ever the same as anybody else's reasons. She was completely ruthless in that way." Iris speculates about her sister's last moments: "The white gloves: a Pontius Pilate gesture. She was washing her hands of me. Of all of us."
