The Handmaid's Tale

<p>The librarians pay homage to the paragon of Canadian novelists, Margaret Atwood, and her classic novel The Handmaid's Tale. In this episode: the real-world people and events that inspired the dystopian tale, a darkly beautiful Emmy Award-winning show with a star-studded cast and questionable dramatic timing, a discussion of whether The Handmaid's Tale is a work of speculative fiction or sci-fi (though not of the squids-talking-in-space variety), and a warning for lazy readers (hint: the "afterword" is actually part of the book!).</p> <p><a href="https://catalog.cin.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?advsearch=1&amp;idx=ti&amp;q=handmaid%27s+tale&amp;op=and&amp;idx=kw&amp;q=&amp;op=and&amp;idx=kw&amp;q=&amp;do=Search&amp;multibranchlimit=&amp;sort_by=relevance">Request <em>The Handmaid's Tale</em></a></p> <p><a href="https://catalog.cin.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=au%2Cwrdl&amp;q=atwood%2C+margaret&amp;op=and&amp;idx=kw&amp;q=&amp;op=and&amp;idx=kw&amp;q=&amp;limit=mc-ccode%3ACD&amp;limit=mc-ccode%3APLAYAWAY&amp;limit=mc-ccode%3ABOOK&amp;limit=mc-ccode%3ALARGE&amp;limit=mc-ccode%3APAPBACK&amp;sort_by=title_az&amp;addto=Add+to...">Request Margaret Atwood novels</a></p> <p><a href="https://communitylibrary.net/forms/interlibrary-loan/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">InterLibrary Loan</a></p> <p><a href="https://communitylibrary.net/services/#membership" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Become a Library Member</a></p>
