In 2017, Kazuo Ishiguro apologized to Margaret Atwood for winning the Nobel Prize for Literature. Atwood was tipped to win the said prize that year. Still, a greater part of Western readers hails her as the one writer who “effectively, predicted our present”. Atwood is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. Her writings combine vision and satire with a poignant and descriptive style that evokes eco-critical and geopolitical symbolism in order to mediate thematic concerns about the encounters between humans and nature. In this course, we will study the Canadian writer with regard to her writing routines, her themes, her style, and the cultural contexts that made her writings possible. In this reading-intensive course, we will, therefore, turn to select essays on genre, politics, and the human imagination authored by Atwood. Also, we will read her poetry, learn about recurring tropes, themes, and poetic forms. Finally, we will discuss three of her novels, The Edible Woman, The Blind Assassin, and The Handmaid’s Tale in order to discuss canonization, classification, and authorship.
