These essays and pieces were written between 2004 and 2021. I am a fan of Atwood as a writer and a person, having heard her 'in conversation' occasionally over the years. Her interests and curiosity are boundless, and she is self-deprecating and quite droll. She does consider the big issues of the day: climate change, wealth inequality and the perilous state of democracy but also fellow writers and her own writing. The book remains at my bedside.
