Margaret Atwood: Lannan Readings & Conversations

Margaret Atwood: Lannan Readings & Conversations

by Margaret Atwood




Margaret Atwood is an international literary star and one of Canada's most celebrated authors. A truly extraordinary and prolific writer, Ms. Atwood has published more than 35 books, in which she has explored the issues of our times, capturing them in the satirical, self-reflexive mode of the contemporary novel. Her most recent works include the best-selling novels, Alias Grace, Cat's Eye, and The Robber Bride; the collections Wilderness Tips and Bluebird's Egg; and The Blind Assassin, for which she won the Booker Prize. Ms. Atwood's latest book, Oryx and Crake, is a dark and witty look at a world left devastated in the wake of ecological and scientific disaster. In praise of Atwood the Houston Chroniclesays, "Atwood takes many trends which exist today and stretches them to their logical and chilling conclusions…."



LearnOutLoud.com Review:

 Margaret Atwood Reads Her Works
With the dry wit that has come to make her a literary icon, Margaret Atwood reads selections from her work and discusses writing in this audio download released by the Lannan Foundation. At times bleak, often humorous and always probing, Atwood''s work is devoted to exploring the underbelly of modern experience, with special attention given to how the future may take shape if current dubious trends continue to their natural conclusion.

While the material she presents is in some ways sobering, Atwood maintains a satirical tone that offsets it all, revealing a writer that is ultimately optimistic, self-deprecating and always searching. This event is available on streaming audio and MP3 download.
