Margaret Atwood is the author of more than fifty volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non-fiction and is perhaps best known for her novels, which include The Handmaid’s Tale, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, and The Blind Assassin. Her non-fiction book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, part of the Massey Lecture series, appeared in 2008. Atwood has won numerous awards for a prolific output that spans nearly every literary discipline; she has published fifteen books of poetry, four collections of stories and three collections of unclassifiable short prose works. In 2004 Atwood co-invented the Long Pen TM, a remote signing device. Atwood’s most recent book, MaddAddam, is the third and final installment in a dystopian trilogy that began with Oryx and Crake and continued with The Year of the Flood.
