The multi-award successful feminist writer Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Story) has introduced that she will probably be releasing her long-awaited memoir later this 12 months. The 85-year-old Canadian author’s ouvré contains every part from 17 novels to 19 poetry books and some graphic novels, however that is her first memoir.
A part of the rationale she hadn’t written one prior to now was as a result of she thought it might be boring, however her publishers introduced her round to the concept. In an interview with British Vogue, she explains her timing for writing the memoir, saying, “My publishers made me do it.”
“I sweated blood over this book…But I also laughed a lot. A memoir is what you can remember, and you remember mostly stupid things, catastrophes, revenges, and times of political horror, so I put those in – but I also added moments of joy, and surprising events and, of course, the books.”
The memoir, titled E book of Lives, will probably be printed by Doubleday within the US on November 4, 2025.
