- Margaret Atwood is interviewed by Doug Stanton about the creative process behind her unique graphic novels on the National Writers Series stage at the City Opera House in downtown Traverse City.
Not only is no other writer more intelligent and well spoken than this lady, but her humor is up to par with professional comedians - in my opinion! Give her the Nobel Prize, already!!!
Thank you for this wonderful interview. Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite public figures right now. She reminds me of other elders around the San Francisco Bay Area, who came out of similar generations of 1960s counterculture. I'm reminded of some, who I get to interact with now and then. It's cool talking to elder folks from the '60s to get their take on what's going on today. It seems the men from that time period, at least those I've interacted with, have changed more than the women, in terms of their ideals and values.
It's such a relief to hear somebody in the public eye give voice to matters of injustice, often which threaten the very fabric of society, and with such elegance. Margaret Atwood is inspiring.
Listening to Margaret Atwood is always time well spent.
This is a well done interview of Margaret Atwood. A biting wit, a prescient story teller, Margaret Atwood's novels are the words of a prophet.
What an absolutely fascinating and keenly intelligent woman, writer, person and human being.
She is a sane voice in the chaos. Her humour is amusing I had never heard such a cool old lady.
Loved The Duke of Milan rap. What I like so much about Margaret Atwood is that age doesn't come into it. She's a writer using her experience and developed intellect. There's no sorry state of "at my age you can't... " She inspires me. Thank you for uploading. 🙋UK
She deserves Nobel Prize,
I enjoyed Margaret's sharp but fun banter with the interviewer.
Control of what people can wear, what they can think, what they can purchase. The details she presents mirror things within the United states today.
She's so great
Absolute brilliance!
When she was reading the book it sounds like she was rapping a few verses!! Bless your heart Margaret Atwood! LOL 😂
she is sharp as a knife
Giles Corey - "More weight!" I knew who he was as soon as she mentioned his name, and not because of "The Crucible." I don't know how to put it eloquently, but in such a horrible time in American history.....He was an absolute badass. When life is getting you down and everything seems unfair....MORE WEIGHT! Now, that's inspiration!
The Swedish Humor Award????!!!!!
She's got that contrarian just for fun Germaine Greer thing going on. Which actually doesn't make her seem nearly as intellectually Superior as she imagines it does. It's really just rude and tiresome. And then she's interviewed by this man and she treats him with much more respect than the woman interviewers she talks to.
1) the host keeps trying to put his own words in her mouth, it's very annoying.
2) charlie hebdo - rip the victims - wasn't satire; it pretends to take the piss out of everyone when 80% of their content reflects their colonial heritage, and keeps egging on the worst of france.
3) the only limit to voice appropriation is the research you make for it; don'T be lazy.
When you hear interviews with her, you realize lots of people try to put words in interviewee's mouths. Most celebrities appreciate it because it makes answering easier. Margret Atwood does not need the lead in, or the questions to be easy.
I agree with your comment on Charlie hebbdo. The core of the work is colonial supremacy. In that context, their writing on Prophet Muhammad ( blessings of Allah be on him and his family) was disparaging a population who were "not French".
Two horror writers, Watpad and Margaret Atwood walk into a bar...
