In this multi-award winning, bestselling novel, author Margaret Atwood has created a very stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “maids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed.

In Gilead, where women are prohibited from working, reading, and making friends, Offred’s lingering memories of life “before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, surprising, prescient, and with the devastating irony, wit, and perceptive acumen of Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once biting satire and dire warning.

In modern times, very few authors have taken the time and effort to maintain the classic style of writing that prevailed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today’s reading public is more interested in action, sexual innuendo, and emotion in a narrative arc than what was once required as “good writing skills.” Margaret Atwood has never ignored these age-old principles, no matter what one may think of the contents of her books. The Handmaid’s Tale is no exception.

Written in the first person singular, we see the dystopian world of Gilead through the eyes of a single servant, and his eyes alone. The result of this process not only allows the reader to identify and empathize with the main character, but also to become aware of actions and events happening around them of which they have little or no awareness. Equally fascinating about this style is that we are quickly taken from current events to past ones, from memories to present thoughts and then to dreams. As befits any successful novel, it takes a lot of work and concentration on the part of the reader to keep the plot flowing while being presented with these quick personal impulses.

The flow of the novel itself mimics E.A. Poe’s style in that we are given a contrast with which to compare our heroine’s character, the slow build-up of a sequence of events leading to the resolution, the quick conclusion at the climax of the novel and an equally critical review. short period of time, by which we, as readers, can draw some conclusion from the preceding events.

Reading this novel was an extreme pleasure for me, if only for the above reason. However, the dystopian worldview is just as powerful considering it was written in the 1980s. Is such a social media possible in the future? Probably not. But the point of this presentation lies in the underlying symbolism of our current situation, rather than being an infallible prediction of future events.

Atwood is not only an author that Canada should be proud of, but one that should be equally recognized around the world. The only fault with this text, for me, is the cover itself. While I realize that it is intended to be even a symbolic representation of secrecy and obedience, an ignorant reader might dismiss the book entirely, believing this book to be too bogus. be prone to physical mutilation.

Margaret Atwood heads a class of master storytellers. She has written a number of great books, but I really consider this to be her best work of all time. I was a bit surprised, doing my due diligence before purchasing this novel, by the number of critics (mostly women) who outright dismissed it as, say, “an incredible invention” or its description of doomed women as “too objectifying.” ” and “just like sex objects”.

Okay, each for their own, but even the most rudimentary synopsis descriptions make it clear that this is a dystopian novel that, according to Amazon’s own blurb, is “a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future (where) of Handmaids.” . . . they have only one purpose: to breed.”
The story continues to be “provocative, surprising, prophetic. . . at once a biting satire and a grim warning.”

So no, this won’t be for everyone. Some may find the things that Atwood conceives deeply disturbing; they may choose to see such things as simply impossible, or they may choose to dismiss the story and/or the author simply because they believe they are faults of both. I find all of this perfectly acceptable, but the “I didn’t know what I bought” or “It wasn’t what I expected” excuses really fall flat. (Keep these, as they can come in handy if you ever buy a can of paint without a label, or find that the color is Shocking Pink when you “expected” it to be Moss Green.)
