Please email us your questions for Margaret Atwood before September 15.
Margaret Atwood‘s novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, shook us in 1985. It imagined a totalitarian state called The Republic of Gilead, which has overthrown the United States. The Constitution has been tossed out the window, and the military has taken over. Gilead’s women are subjugated, the law is the Bible strictly interpreted, and resistance is squashed. Thirty-five years ago, it was a cautionary tale about repressive societies. Today many readers consider it prophetic. The Testaments is the next chapter.
In conversation with Bradley Whitford. Whitford is an award-winning actor who plays Joseph Lawrence in the Hulu series The Handmaid’s Tale. He has had notable roles in countless films, including Get Out, and in countless television series. We almost forgot to mention that he plays Josh Lyman on The West Wing.
