Description du livre
By the author of The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace
Curious Pursuits is a collection of personal essays, book reviews and articles from the fierce, ingenious mind of Margaret Atwood, ranging from 1970 to the present.
Atwood remembers moving to London as a starry-eyed teenager in 1964 and her first attempts at gardening; she discusses feminist utopias in fiction, and writes moving odes on beloved classics like Anne of Green Gables.
Personal life and fiction are shelved side by side in this revealing, insightful collection of Atwood's non-fiction writing.
