3. There have been several interviews with Margaret Atwood.

I found these two interesting.

The first from the CBC includes  a youtube interview in which she discusses protesters dressing as handmaids.

In this one, the launch from London, and more on her writing:

She’s done a lot of writing on Pelee Island. Why is it such a good place to write?  “Nobody calls!” she replied.

She wrote some of her latest book, a sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” on the island. “The Testaments” will be published on Tuesday, with an initial print run of half a million copies.

The book’s launch, in London, will be streamed to over 1,300 cinemas around the world.

And can Atwood give us any hints? “We know from book one that Gilead ends,” she said. “But we don’t know how. But we’re a little closer to knowing how.”

“Is there hope in the second book?” Teichner asked.

“Tons of hope,” she laughed. “Lots and lots of hope.”

When Teichner asked, “In this whole process and the explosion of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and its ripples in culture, what are you most proud of?” Atwood replied, “I’m Canadian, Martha. We don’t do proud of!”

What do you do?  “Less embarrassed by!” she laughed.
