Inside the mind of one of the greatest living writers.
Award-winning author Margaret Atwood is heading to stages across the country to celebrate the release of Testaments, the sequel to beloved dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale.
The in-conversation event will cover the acclaimed writer’s career, her diverse body of work and the motivation behind releasing a sequel 34 years after the first instalment was published. To date, Atwood has written more than 50 books of fiction, poetry and essays and has nabbed plenty of awards in the process.
“I am so happy to be returning to Australia, where I have spent much time in the past, and where readers have always been so warm and welcoming,” Atwood said in a statement.
