Libro de mis vidas : Como unas memorias

Raised by scientifically minded and independent-minded parents, Margaret Atwood spent much of her childhood in the remote forests of northern Quebec, far removed from social conventions. This nomadic and unattached childhood marked the beginning of an extraordinary path, which she herself recounts with lucidity, irony, and wit, intertwining the defining moments of her life with the works that have transformed contemporary narrative, such as Cat's Eye and The Handmaid's Tale. Poets, actors, bears, bohemian figures, and almost supernatural characters parade by, seemingly plucked from her own fiction. With her characteristic mordacity and sharp lucidity, Atwood reveals the delicate ties between experience and creation, and between reality and the written word. She also opens an intimate window into her relationship with the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and the emotional landscapes that nourished her writing.
