In front of a live audience at Heartland 2022, Margaret Atwood answered all our burning questions with humour and intellect.   Atwood is the author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. Her 1985 classic, The Handmaid’s Tale, re-entered the bestseller charts in 2016. 2017 saw the release of the award-winning Hulu TV series starring Elisabeth Moss. The Testaments, her surprise sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, won the 2019 Booker Prize. Atwood has been awarded numerous prizes and honours, including The Booker Prize (twice), the Governor General Award and the PEN Centre USA Lifetime Achievement Award.  The talk is moderated by journalist Lotte Folke Kaarsholm and presented in collaboration with Estée Lauder.  Hosted on Acast.
