Margaret Eleanor Atwood - Negotiation With the Dead: A Writer on Wri...

Acclaimed author Margaret Atwood&#8217;s definitive look at the role of the writer.<br><br>What is the role of the writer? Prophet? High Priest of Art? Court Jester? Or witness to the real world? Looking back on her own childhood and the development of her writing career, Margaret Atwood examines the metaphors that writers of fiction and poetry have used to explain -- or excuse -- their activities, looking at what roles they have chosen to play.<br><br>Margaret Atwood&#8217;s wide and eclectic reference to other writers, living and dead, is balanced by personal anecdotes from her own experiences as a writer. The lightness of her touch is offset by a seriousness about the purpose and the pleasures of writing, and by a deep familiarity with the myths and traditions of western literature.

Professional Reviews

Literary Review: "While all this is well and lightly written, none of it is particularly original....The problem comes when she slips off into extended discussions about critical and literary issues which have long been done and dusted....By all accounts, when Atwood delivered the Empson Lectures back in 2000, she was a revelation. Her voice...was sardonic, amused, daring you not to take her too seriously. Unfortunately, translated onto the page, this 'voice' has lost its edge: not quite clever enough to make you see the world anew; not quite intimate enough to make you hear Margaret Atwood afresh."
