Canadian author Margaret Atwood announces her new nonfiction work, 'Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts', set for release in November 2025. In this memoir, Atwood explores the intersections of her life experiences and her acclaimed literary works, from her nomadic childhood to her time in East Berlin and her long partnership with writer Graeme Gibson.
Margaret Atwood has captured the imagination, creeping dread, and defiant spirits of generations across the world with her work—from the near-future dystopia of The Handmaid’s Tale and Booker Prize-winning The Testaments , to the compelling tangle of women’s lives in Cat’s Eye . “Time is not a line but a dimension,” she wrote in Cat’s Eye. “You don’t look back along time but down through it, like water. Sometimes this comes to the surface, sometimes that, sometimes nothing. Nothing goes away.
“Well, Anna, it changes over time. You’ll hear this described by a lot of people. What you find hardest to remember are the middle years. When you’re older, you can catch and remember the early years quite well. You may have forgotten about them when you were 31, because you’re very occupied with your immediate happenings. You don’t know the plot yet. What’s going to become of me? Well, by my age, you know the plot. And you know how it’s likely to end. I have a different perspective now.
