"I think calling it climate change is rather limiting. I would rather call it the everything change." - Margaret Atwood

Atwood's many international literary awards include the prestigious Booker Prize for contemporary fiction, Arthur C. Clarke Award in science fiction and the Governor General's Award for fiction in her native Canada. Her critical acclaim is equally matched by her popularity among readers and following on Twitter.

Margaret Atwood is widely known for her commentary on the human condition and female experience. Her forthcoming book, Hag-Seed, is a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
