You Are What You Read

A Legend in Literature: Margaret Atwood


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by literary sensation and incomparable storyteller, Margaret Atwood. Margaret is the author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays, including the award-winning, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, Cat’s Eye, Alias Grace, The Blind Assassin, and more. Margaret has won the Booker Prize, the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society, the Franz Kafka Prize, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. In this conversation, we discuss Margaret’s glorious and hilarious short story collection, Old Babes in the Wood, a deep look into family, marriage, loss and aging, and what it means to spend a life with those you love.
