Atwood Writing Course (margaret Atwood's Writing Series)

About This Novel
In this book, Margaret Atwood dissects key questions that have long plagued many writers. She reviewed her childhood and writing trajectory, using personal experience as a mirror to examine the various metaphors novelists and poets use to explain their creative activities, the costumes writers have historically worn, the "talent" required for writing, the conditions for obtaining such "talent", the relationship between writers, social and political power and readers, etc. She quoted extensively and eclectically, talking about a large number of living and deceased writers, as well as a lot of anecdotes from the Canadian and international literary circles. Underneath her relaxed and humorous writing style is her serious attitude towards the purpose and pleasure of writing, as well as her familiarity and deep understanding of the Western literary tradition.
