Margaret Atwood

Yesterday evening, Flagey welcomed Canadian author Margaret Atwood. It was her first visit ever to Brussels. The talk on future, fiction, our environment was entertaining and instructive. Delighted I was there!
You can watch an introduction to her talk here:

    Sounds like an interesting evening. Don't think I have ever read any of her novels.

    My husband is a great fan of her novels...I'm not so keen myself...the early ones I liked, the later ones seem more contrived...but she is always interesting.

      I have to admit, Helen, that I, like you, was a great fan of her earlier work
      the talk was hyper interesting though

    I love her writing! I saw her latest novel the other day, but didn't get it. I must return to the bookstore and purchase a copy. :). I'll bet her talk was fantastic!

    Thank you for sharing the video. I like her short novels. I was very impressed by Moral Disorder.
