Margaret Atwood


What would we do without novelists?! Margaret Atwood has a new book coming out next week, Payback. An excerpt from this book can be read in FT's Arts & Weekend. This is a very timely piece on money, religion, and sex and the nature of revenge and forgiveness. Atwood has an incisive wit, acute powers of observation, and the ability to cut through pc-ness masquerading as intellectual prowess.
