Following a tense three days in the hospital and lots of medical tests and procedures (turns out I'll be OK), we decided to see a talk by Margaret Atwood at Wellesley College. We had already requested tickets and figured that sitting in an audience wouldn't be too strenuous. I was fine.
Photos were not allowed but I took a shot of the covers three of her novels in my library.
Margaret Atwood was a delightful and entertaining speaker. She talked about the creative process, teaching and learning writing, and her early years.
In preparation for this visit, in which the author spent time in classes and workshops with students, many students participated in several book groups, each group reading one of the novels. After the author talk, a representative from each of the book groups asked a detailed and well thought-out question on behalf of their group.
