Information Of The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood's dystopian, futuristic novel, New York Times editor Christopher Lehmann-Haupt warns, "It's a bleak world . . . how bleak and even terrifying we will not fully realize until the story's final pages." Set in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the novel presents a totalitarian theocracy that has forced a certain class of fertile women to produce babies for elite barren couples. These "handmaids," who are denied all rights and are severely beaten if they are uncooperative, are reduced to state property. Through the voice of Offred, a handmaid who mingles memories of her life before the revolution with her rebellious activities under the new regime, Atwood has created a terrifying future based on actual events. The significance of The Handmaid's Tale caused Publishers Weekly to write that it "deserves an honored place on the small shelf of cautionary tales that have entered modern folklorea place next to, and by no means inferior to

THE HANDMAID'S TALE Margaret Atwood. Toronto, ON: McClelland and Stewart, 1985. 394pp., cloth, $22.95. ISBN 0-7710-0813-9. CIP. Subject Headings: Man-woman relationships-Fiction. Misogyny-Fiction. Women-Fiction. Grades 12 and up / Ages 17 and up Reviewed by Ruth Cosstick. Volume 14 Number 1 1986 January Margaret Atwood, one of Canada's foremost authors, has joined an illustrious coterie of writers who have envisioned the future. Rather than the quasi-scientific books of H.C. Wells or Jules Verne, Atwood has delineated a social and sexual revolution, or perhaps more accurately, an anti-social. anti-sexual revolution. Taking the text of her sermon directly fiom Genesis 30:1-3. where Rachel demands a child of Jacob through her handmaid, Atwood leaps ahead to a period when the environment has been destroyed because of an entirely credible combination of all-too-familiar circumstances. The birth rate has fallen alarmingly and radical measures must be taken to rectify the situation. In the Republic of Gilead that appears to have replaced Massachusetts, the unnamed narrator-handmaid gives an account of her life as slave in the household of a Commander. Her only function is to produce a child for his apparently barren wife. That the fault may lie with the male species is, in this society, not countenanced. The rigid training given by the Aunts provides a bluntly horrifying picture of the attempt to erase memories of the "time before" and to inculcate the importance of laying the foundation for future generations to benefit from the enforced services of the handmaids. This self-styled 'refugee from the past" endures a nightmare existence for the sake of a husband and child who may still be alive somewhere.

Margaret Atwood seems to be able to do just about everything: people, places, problems, a perfect ear, an exactly right voice." Anatole Broyard, The New York Times "Superior writing, terrifying suspense." The Atlantic Monthly Rennie, a young fashion reporter, travels to the island of St. Antoine with the intention of indulging herself after surviving a bout with breast cancer and a traumatic break-up. The idyllic island of her fantasies, however, is in fact a depressed country on the brink of revolution and civil uprising. Rennie struggles to absent herself from local politics for as long as possible, but after becoming infatuated with Paul, a shadowy player in the local scene, and being entrusted with the confidences of Mr. Minnow, a doomed candidate for the minority opposition, Rennie realizes that she has no choice but to become involved. With commitment comes responsibility and implication, and Rennie soon finds herself thrown into a nightmare she could not have anticipated. Her efforts to not only survive but comprehend and report the swirl of events around her lead her to new levels of personal and artistic awareness.

Enligt den engelska tidningen Independent är hon favoriten med bästa oddsen. Redan som tonåring bestämde sig Margarets Atwood för att bli författare. I dag är hon inte bara en av Kanadas mest populära, utan upphöjd till ikon. Foto: BÖRJE THURESSON Vill du vinna Margaret Atwoods nya bok? Att säga att Margaret Atwood är Kanadas största författare räcker inte. I Sverige har vi inte varit lika högaktningsfulla. Svenska humorförbundet har utsett henne till Året roligaste utlänning. Roligaste svensk blev samtidigt Peter Wahlbäck. Två systrar växer upp i en förmögen familj. Den äldsta Iris ingår ett olyckligt resonemangsäktenskap för att rädda faderns fabrik. Den yngre Laura gör uppror, skriver en skandalroman och begår självmord. Läsaren får följa den nu 82-åriga, utfattiga Iris, som ser tillbaka på sitt liv samtidigt som vi får ta del av hennes lillasysters postumt publicerade kultbok. I handlingen förekommer också en hissnande science-fiction-historia med anfallande fiender från yttre rymnden och talande växter.
