À propos de cet audio
Margaret Atwood, the legendary Canadian author now eighty-five years old, continues to command the literary world's attention with her highly anticipated memoir "Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts." Released on November fourth, the memoir has already generated significant buzz, with around two hundred fifty fans gathering at Waterstones Piccadilly to celebrate what's been described as a funny and irreverent look back at her extraordinary life. In this memoir, Atwood links seminal moments in her personal history to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel year that inspired "Cat's Eye" to divided nineteen-eighties Berlin where she began writing "The Handmaid's Tale."
Her book tour has been in full swing throughout November. On November sixth, Atwood participated in an intimate interview and Q and A session at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, presented by Books Are Magic, where she was joined by fellow author Emma Straub. All books were presigned for fans. Then on November twenty-fifth, she made a notable appearance at the Hamilton Convention Centre in Ontario, where she participated in a fundraiser event alongside Ralph Benmergui, sharing insights from her memoir with Canadian supporters.
The promotional momentum continues with her upcoming appearance at Bristol Beacon in the United Kingdom, where she'll share more insights from "Book of Lives" in what's being billed as a rare and intimate evening. Her presence on social media has remained active as well, with recent posts on Instagram showing her engaged with supporters and celebrating the memoir's launch.
At eighty-five, Atwood is reflecting not on future dystopias, as her fiction so often does, but on her own life's journey. Recent media coverage, including a prominent feature on CBS News's "Sixty Minutes," has highlighted how this prolific author, known for exploring themes of totalitarianism, environmental collapse, and global pandemic in her fiction, is now examining her own formative experiences and the creative forces that shaped her legendary career.
The literary world continues to celebrate Atwood's contributions while she actively engages with readers worldwide through her memoir tour.
