This gathering of 21 interviews with Margaret Atwood covers a broad spectrum of topics. Beginning with Graeme Gibson's \"Dissecting the Way a Writer Works\" (1972), the conversations provide a forum for Atwood to talk about her own work, her career as a writer, feminism, and Canadian cultural nationalism, and to refute the autobiographical fallacy. These conversations offer what Earl Ingersoll calls \"a kind of 'biography' of Margaret Atwood - the only kind of biography she is likely to sanction.\" Enlivened by Atwood's unfailing sense of humor, the interviews present an invaluable view of a distinguished contemporary writer at work.","brand":"Ontario Review Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40414577328198,"sku":"2329596","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2329596.jpg?v=1669483834","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/conversations-ontario-review-press-critical-series","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
