Description
MARGARET ATWOOD (b. 1939) is a Canadian poet, novelist, literary critic, and essayist.
In her early poetry collections, THE CIRCLE GAME (1964) and THE ANIMALS IN THAT COUNTRY (1968), Atwood ponders human behaviour, celebrates the natural world, and condemns materialism. Role reversal and new beginnings are recurrent themes in her novels, all of them centred on women seeking their relationship to the world and the individuals around them. THE HANDMAID’S TALE (1985) is constructed around the written record of a woman living in sexual slavery in a repressive Christian theocracy of the future that has seized power in the wake of an ecological upheaval. The Booker Prize-winning THE BLIND ASSASSIN (2000) is an intricately constructed narrative centring on the memoir of an elderly Canadian woman ostensibly writing in order to dispel confusion about both her sister’s suicide and her own role in the posthumous publication of a novel supposedly written by her sister.
Other novels by Atwood include the surreal THE EDIBLE WOMAN (1969); SURFACING (1972), an exploration of the relationship between nature and culture that centres on a woman’s return to her childhood home in the northern wilderness of Quebec; LADY ORACLE (1976); CAT’S EYE (1988); THE ROBBER BRIDE (1993); and ALIAS GRACE (1996), a fictionalized account of a real-life Canadian girl who was convicted of two murders in a sensationalist 1843 trial. Her 2005 novel, THE PENELOPIAD, was inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
In ORYX AND CRAKE (2003), Atwood described a plague-induced apocalypse in the near future through the observations and flashbacks of a protagonist who is possibly the event’s sole survivor. Minor characters from that book retold the dystopian tale from their perspectives in THE YEAR OF THE FLOOD (2009). MADDADDAM (2013), which continues to pluck at the biblical, eschatological, and anticorporate threads running through the previous novels, brought the satirical trilogy to a denouement. The novel THE HEART GOES LAST (2015), originally published as a serial e-book (2012-13), imagines a dystopian America in which a couple is compelled to join a community that functions like a prison.
Atwood's nonfiction includes NEGOTIATING WITH THE DEAD (2002); PAYBACK (2008), an impassioned essay that treats debt as a cultural issue rather than as a political or economic one; and IN OTHER WORLDS (2011), in which she illuminates her relationship to science fiction. Her principal work of literary criticism, SURVIVAL (1972), received much attention both in Canada and internationally.
She has won more than 55 awards in Canada and internationally, along with receiving numerous honorary degrees. She has received the Arthur C. Clarke Award (1987) and Prince of Asturias Award for Literature (2008), has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize five times, winning once, and has been a finalist for the Governor General's Award several times, winning twice (1966, 1985). She won the PEN Pinter Prize in 2016 for the spirit of political activism threading her life and works.
