In this moderated discussion, one of Canada's most celebrated authors will discuss freedom of expression and her accomplished body of work.Margaret Atwood has long been a literary titan, and her words continue to resonate with every generation. Her landmark novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) was adapted into a fifteen-time Emmy Award-winning television series, and its sequel, The Testaments, won the 2019 Booker Prize. Her most recent short story collection, Old Babes in the Wood, is a powerful exploration of grief and loss described as “brilliant. She’s writing at the top of her considerable powers here,” by Publishers Weekly. With wit and humor, Atwood reveals hidden truths in our societies, inspiring you to speak out against injustice and preparing you for the battle ahead. Today, her sharp eye is more crucial—and prescient—than ever. She is also a popular personality on Twitter, with over two million followers.
The Q&A at this event will be moderated by Dr. Toni Samek from the University of Alberta.
