Question

what additional joy margaret atwood dry from comic book​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are all prone these days to gloomy laughter or comic despair as we consider our lives in consumerdom, the country where in the end we find ourselves consumed—that is, converted into waste by the things we acquire, the goods and packaged ideas dispensed along the supermarket aisles of our culture. In this first novel, however, a female hand gives an extra twist to the switchblade. The Canadian poet Margaret Atwood has written a work of feminist black humor, in which she seems to say that a woman is herself likely to become another ‘edible’ product, marketed for the make appetite that has been created (or at least organized) by the media.

This may put the matter more blackly than one should. Miss Atwood’s comedy does not bare its teeth. It reads, in fact, like a contemporary My Sister Eileen. One can see how, with a little scissoring, an enterprising dramatist could make a light-hearted series of stage episodes out of the adventures of Marian and Ainsley, two ex-college girls bumpily adrift in a Canadian city. Marian, our chief focus of interest, is vaguely about the business of acquiring a mate in the shape of a ‘rising young lawyer.’ Her roommate has chosen the more deviant course—deliberately incurred pregnancy for the purpose of motherhood, sans the encumbrance of a husband. In the end, Marian discards her lawyer. Ainsley discovers that her baby will need a ‘father-image,’ and the comic turn is achieved.

Answer 2

Answer:

Today is beloved literary icon, Booker Prize-winner, and electric scooter enthusiast Margaret Atwood’s 81st birthday!

Though Atwood’s 1985 feminist dystopian urtext The Handmaid’s Tale—a chilling speculative vision of a repressive theocratic America in which women’s rights have been completely abolished—is undoubtedly her most famous work, the Canadian author’s wider body of speculative fiction imagines more than just violent misogyny as governmental policy. Whether focused on patriarchal totalitarianism (Handmaid’s Tale), human-wrought environmental destruction (the MaddAddam trilogy), or the grotesqueries of finance capitalism (The Heart Goes Last), they speak to our current political climate in myriad, and increasingly disquieting, ways.
