Margaret Atwood Answers Your Questions

In this special episode, we sit down with legendary author Margaret Atwood, whose groundbreaking novel The Handmaid’s Tale is Dua’s Monthly Read for November. 

From what comes first – character, place, or premise – to how she handles challenging emotions in her writing, Margaret answers your questions across her extraordinary catalogue. She reflects on the rhythm and sound of her prose, the moments that shift the course of her stories, and responds to suggestions that she can predict the future. 

Plus, she considers the parallels between Serena Joy and the modern Tradwife movement. 

If you’ve ever wondered about Margaret’s writing process, this conversation is a must-listen.
