I can always tell when he 'writes' with an, er, artificial boost. a bit of a bizarre result when mixed together with his own blather, but Huggles is gonna Huggle
curious why he even brought up The Handmaid's Tale. guess he couldn't think of anything even remotely related to the thread to talk about
fuck yeah that book was prescient in light of the threats to reproductive rights faced by American women today, (and like Amelia posted, rooted in real life events as are many of Atwood's books, though more commonly the post WW2 era in Canada) but the one I rec'd above was Payback. a series of Massey Lectures, fucking brilliant
ironically that book has a whole chapter exploring 'Debt and Sin' as it has played out across multiple religions throughout history, but would be a bit too complex for him to wrap his head around so...
of all her fiction books, I think my top three are:
Cat's Eye (not because of the title, I swear)
The Robber Bride (characters are a bit two-dimensional but it's written in the style of a fairy tale and it fits)
The Blind Assassin (the ending always makes me a bit sad, but in such a good way)
but according to a dude who has reviews of his own books that include 'incel scribbles with crayons', Atwood is a hack. alrighty then
