Interview: Margaret Atwood

Something light for a Friday ...

This Maisonneuve interview with Margaret Atwood is a memorable one. I love the way she turns things around and starts giving the interviewer advice about his career, and how to keep from getting sick on book tours.

[Edited to add: When I originally read this interview some months back, the entire article was available at Maisonneuve's website for free. Now it's only available to subscribers there. The link I've provided takes you to KeepMedia, where you can read the article for a dollar. I think it's worth it, but if you don't have any spare change today, you could substitute this thread at Metafilter, which includes some choice quotes from the interview, and the entire text of Jan Wong's lunch interview with Atwood.

Maud Newton also has a good summary and some quotations.]
