Description
By Margaret Atwood, published by Virago. Margaret Atwood examines the metaphors writers have used to explain their activities, looking at what roles they've chosen to play. She explores these metaphors in her own writing career and considers the challenge of defining a writer's role as 'gifted'. Atwood balances anecdotes from her own experiences with references to other writers, both living and dead, to discuss the purpose and pleasures of writing. Her approach is witty, self-deprecating, and ingenious, making for an engaging argument about the writer's role.
