Margaret Atwood
Book of Lives : A Memoir of Sorts Hardback
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
How does one of the greatest storytellers of our time write her own life? The longawaited memoir from one of our most lauded and influential cultural figuresEvery writer is at least two beings the one who lives, and the one who writes. Though everything written must have passed through their minds, or mind, they are not the same.Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents entomologist father, dietician mother Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec. This childhood was unfettered and nomadic, sometimes isolated (on her eighth birthday It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn.), but also thrilling and beautiful.From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel year that spawned Cats Eye to divided 1980s Berlin where she began The Handmaids Tale. In pages bursting with bohemian gatherings, her magical life with the wildly charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and major political turning points, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood actors and largerthanlife characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.As we travel with her along the course of her life, more and more is revealed about her writing, the connections between real life and art and the workings of one of our greatest imaginations.
