Iconic Author Margaret Atwood on Abortion, Twitter, and Predicting Everything We're Doing Wrong

Margaret Atwood is one of a few writers who defy categorization. Published in over 35 countries, the award-winning Canadian author is as beloved by critics as she is high school students, as prolific with novels as she is her tweets. Her experiments in narrative, form, and genre-as well as her poet's ear for prose-have persisted throughout her decades-long career, and they foreground an explicit yet elegant execution of progressive politics: Atwood is an avowed environmentalist and an advocate of women's rights (though she bristles at being called a "feminist" outright). Alongside all this is a persistent, clear-eyed examination of sex and the relationships between men and women, as well as a playful sense of humor and discovery; although she's well-known for her novels like The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake, she's also patented "remote writing technology" in the form of the LongPen and written a book to be published in 2114. We recently sat down with Atwood to discuss her long, varied career, the state of women's rights today, and whether she's noticed that speculative fiction books she published in the 80s have started coming true.

After reading some of the comments, I think it needs to be made clear that Ms. Oyler isn't viewed as a poor reporter because she's a woman, but because she lacks charisma and gives off an uninterested attitude.

@frictyfranq321 Год назад

I agree. Criticisms are like a double-edged sword. You express disinterest or dislike and the supporters attack you, alleging that you are a hater or are patriarchal. Sensitivity drives people to form unnecessary connections. I LOVE Atwood's thought process and views on societal matters. However, Ms. Oyler gave out unlikable vibes.

@niamhheron5587 8 лет назад

I ultimately loved the interview because MA is great no matter what, but I'd love to offer some constructive criticism. I like when interviewers take a bigger part in the conversation, meaning they offer their own thoughts and it develops into a more even dialogue. However, here, it felt like the interviewer barely let MA finish some of her trains of thought -frequently cutting her off with a curt "sure." and then almost forcibly steering MA towards an answer that ultimately seemed designed for the interviewer to take up more space. I say this because MA has a very calm, slow way of developing her amazing thoughts, so this rubbed me the wrong way just a little bit (because I love hearing where she goes with a question, but it does take time to listen to her). But I also know something about being perceived as unpleasant in the past when I thought I was only cynical, but really, I was projecting a sort of destructive/cynical/jaded attitude, even if I didn't want to. It was hard to start finding the positive, constructive part in me but it turns out to be much more easy and fruitful in its outcome. what do you think?

As a Candian, I fell in love with Margaret Atwood after reading Alias Grace at 16. It was my first real introduction to litterature. Then I read The Edible Woman and The Handmaid's Tale and they both blew my mind. I did little else that summer but read her books back to front and then again. Its now 20 years later, Ive been an avid reader ever since but few books make such an impact as MA's. I was blessed to hear her speak in University in 2008. She is truly a Canadian icon!

@michelleoliver7063 6 лет назад

It is disappointing to me how many people are criticizing the interviewer, especially for things as ridiculous and petty as vocal fry. Margaret Atwood's works deeply examine what it means to be a woman and one lesson, I thought, that always came through loud and clear was that women need to support and help each other as oppose to put each other down. We need to all be more human and empathize with each other. Instead what commentators on this video have done is say hurtful things designed to tear down the interviewer. While some may thought they were giving constructive criticism, and probably had good intentions, I can almost guarantee she has heard what you have said before by a boss, a coworker, or someone else. I, personally, greatly enjoyed this interview of Margaret Atwood and wish we all would listen to her messages and apply them in real life.

This host isn't rude at all, I think she's inexperienced and a little nervous. She's not rolling her eyes (if she is it's not as a result of something Margaret said, but more so looking up to respond eyes rolled in the process) or judging, actually just trying to respond in a way that she hopes will be well received and was trying to connect with Margaret. I can say that I'm often misread when I'm uncomfortable, it's like the opposite of judgement of the other person, it's compensation for a lack of confidence in one's own position.

However, the constant interrupting and lack of response from response (bounce back) really comes across as the interviewer not actually caring about the answer being given, and not giving that answer enough thought because they're too busy thinking of the next smart thing to say. Unfortunate but there's plenty of time for her to learn and get better! Best of luck.

I would love to meet Margaret Atwood someday. Much respect for her. In fact , in my opinion (not that it matters to anyone) I believe she would be great as a politician who would better explain the high conflict discussions and dilemma of abortion and women's rights with the religious leaders and government...considering if those other crimes were handled accordingly would that NOT eliminate the immoral crime of abortion ? I'm sure Margaret Atwood (and Anne Rice) would better explain it than others who are currently ? idk...It's so complicated and heated discussions and topic...I guess that was why Roe vs Wade started. ....Scientology and medical practices are among those complicated. ....anyways, this interview brought me to tears and her explanation was....hit home hard core.

abortion should be the last resort. why can't birth control be more widely available? that you can walk into a doctor's room or clinic and get an injection, 6 months no pregnancy! I think I schools it should be done as well.

@burton_burton_burton 7 лет назад

Steph M, the sad fact is that most are not going to go out of their way to get the proper birth control in order to prevent pregnancy; which for me, is part of why abortion SHOULD be legal. Also, education on proper birth control, whether male or female, in schools especially, should be taught.

@vinwevi 7 лет назад

Making birth control more accessible would probably don't have much of an effect. Where I live, condoms are free and there is a severe case of teenage pregnancy all over the country. Would it be different if we changed the method? I personally don't think it would do much. Most would "forget", they can't picture something like that happening on a personal level. The ones who would are already using some kind of contraception. Of course, this comes as the views of someone living in Mexico, which is almost officially the dumbest country in Latin America.

@johnyzero2000 7 лет назад

Good post do you think the ladies don't want to use birth control?

@StephRatty 7 лет назад

Well as a young female living in South Africa who went to a government run school, I witnessed tons of girls pregnant. And I know for a fact that they were never offered birth control. If we had a clinic at school in which you were able to get a long lasting birthday control I would bet that those pregnancies numbers would have gone down. Condoms aren't good enough especially since they don't help if you get attacked etc.

In the spirit of doing things totally wrong... I have some ideas for real-life, in-person, off-lecture lectures for tutorial purposes at Bader at Vic. Alma Mater stuff. I had the Dean presently as my first lecturer and am enamored with the glamours in that space. I want to sit at the side of the room on the arm of the chairplaces, and facilitate tutorials and study groups by pointing at people in the room and suggesting aggressively that it is their turn to present. It will be first for the PhD's I want to give out for honourary degrees at Frosh. Then I'll just be whoever needs a TA and RA's helper and audit whatever I can sit in on. But aside from all that, I'd love to name my bioethical research DNA sequenced CRISPR-related, agar-and-centrifuge-experienced clone baby of a twin sister without the health problems during my next Saturn Return or so, once I get it right... "Pigoon" and not have that be a problem. I might have to abort mission with the rest of them, like maybe "Giant Cervix" won't work out for example. Not even kidding one bit. At all. Can we work together on extremely provocative and political stuff at Vic that's art collabs-related. Loved your book signing at World's Biggest, but I avoided the lineup and went toward the tarot cards. ♥
