Synopsis
Margaret Atwood's collection of essays and reviews ranges over a broad subject matter: feminism, pornography, aging, her own writing, and books by Canadians (including ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and LIFE OF PI). Her piece on women's friendships as portrayed in books (everything from JANE EYRE to THE COLOR PURPLE) is especially interesting, as are Atwood's ruminations about her own life, such as her thoughts on "mortification," a eulogy for her friend Carol Shields, and a humorous description of her first job ("one for which I was entirely unsuited"), waitressing.

Industry Reviews
"Atwood is always a gracious writer, stately and polished...."
Kirkus (01/15/2005)

"[T]his eclectic collection ably testifies to the scope of [Atwood's] interests and passions....As responses to specific moments in literary, personal or social history, many of these works don't necessarily deserve to be preserved in perpetuity, but they all skillfully characterize their writer as a woman ravenously curious about the world, witty enough to know her own place in it, fiercely dedicated to language and the art and craft of writing an...enthusiastic as a child about the very act of living."
Publishers Weekly (02/28/2005)
