  1. In 2022, Atwood & publisher had a fire-proof copy made of her "The Handmaid's Tale". After trying & failing to burn it (pictured), Sotheby's auctioned it off for $130K with money going to PEN America (founded 1922), to fight censorship, book bans, etc.
    The book's been banned by entire countries!
    She said she stopped writing it several times bc it seemed so far-fetched(!)

    Two excellent TV series I'm watching weekly are at a point where I'm ready to talk about them. They are The Testaments and Margo's Got Money Troubles. Normally I like to wait until something is complete so I can binge it. This is because I'm quite old and my memory is gone. But these two series are so powerful and strong, they make an indelible impression. Let's see how the old brain holds up. […]

  15. "我也是好心,我时常无声地喃喃自语。我一心想要最好的结果,或者说在力所能及的范围内得到最好的结果,但这两种结果并不相同。无论如何,要不是因为有我在,想想局势会坏到什么程度吧。"

  17. "我没有哭。我已经哭够了。真相是他们把克丽丝特尔剖开,把宝宝取出来,她是因此才死的。这不是她的选择。她没有自告奋勇地担当光辉的榜样,或以女性所能及的最崇高的荣耀献出生命,但没有一个人提到这一点。"

  19. "但现在我一有机会就用眼角的余光去注视“奥芙凯尔”。她有一张苍白的鹅蛋脸,没有表情,俨如一枚藏在手套里的拇指指纹。我自己就知道怎样摆出空茫的表情,所以我不相信她内心真的没有波澜。她曾有过完全不同的生活。她曾是“荡妇”,那时候她是什么样的?“荡妇”和不止一个男人有关系。她和多少男人有过关系?和男人有“关系”——这究竟是什么意思?什么样的男人们?她曾放任身体的某些部位从衣服下面暴露出来吗?她会像男人一样穿长裤吗?那太不圣洁了,简直难以想象!但如果她真的穿长裤,胆子可真够大的呀!她肯定和现在有着天差地别。那时候,她肯定更有活力吧。"
