Literati Bookstore presents Margaret Atwood
Rackham Auditorium
Ann Arbor, MI
Share this event:



On October 21st, 2016, Literati is thrilled to welcome Margaret Atwood to Rackham Auditorium in Ann Arbor--in celebration of her most recent novel, Hag-Seed, part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project.  

About Hag-Seed

Hag-Seed is a re-visiting of Shakespeare's play of magic and illusion, The Tempest, and will be the fourth novel in the Hogarth Shakespeare series.

In Margaret Atwood's novel take on Shakespeare's original, theater director Felix has been unceremoniously ousted from his role as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Festival. When he lands a job teaching theater in a prison, the possibility of revenge presents itself--and his cast find themselves taking part in an interactive and illusion-ridden version of The Tempest that will change their lives forever.

There is a lot of Shakespearean swearing in this new Tempest adventure--but also a mischief, curiosity and vigor that is entirely Atwood.

About Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. Her latest book of short stories is Stone Mattress: Nine Tales (2014).  Her MaddAddam trilogy--the Giller and Booker prize-nominated Oryx and Crake (2003), The Year of the Flood (2009), and MaddAddam (2013)--is currently being adapted for HBO.  The Door is her latest volume of poetry (2007).  Her most recent non-fiction books are Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth (2008) and In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination (2011).  Her novels include The Blind Assassin, winner of the Booker Prize; Alias Grace, which won the Giller Prize in Canada and the Premio Mondello in Italy; and The Robber Bride, Cat's Eye, The Handmaid's Tale--coming soon as a TV series with MGM and Hulu--and The Penelopiad.  Her new novel, The Heart Goes Last, was published in September 2015.  Forthcoming in 2016 are Hag-Seed, a novel revisitation of Shakespeare's play The Tempest, for the Hogarth Shakespeare Project, and Angel Catbird--with a cat-bird superhero--a graphic novel with co-creator Johnnie Christmas (Dark Horse.) Margaret Atwood lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.
