このコンテンツについて
This week Margaret Atwood made headlines once again, not only for her literary legacy but for her courage in defending free speech and classic literature. Atwood’s name dominated the news as Alberta’s controversial school book ban made international waves. Initially, Alberta threatened to pull over 200 titles, including Atwood’s iconic The Handmaid’s Tale, from school library shelves. According to The Canadian Press, the abrupt revision to the policy allows “written descriptions of sex” but bans only explicit images, sparing Atwood’s work. Always quick with wit, Atwood took to social media to mock Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s approach, posting a satirical short story that lampooned the notion of banning books about sex while glorifying capitalism and reproduction without it. This playful jab rippled out across social channels and drew significant public discussion as seen on Threads with users reposting her commentary and memes referencing Atwood’s stance.
Media outlets like The AmberMac Show highlighted Atwood’s take on the issue, with columnist Rob Breakenridge dissecting her influential role in the ongoing debate about book censorship and freedom of expression in Canada. Atwood’s real-time response and direct engagement on these issues reinforce her legendary reputation for never shying away from controversy and supporting the next generation of writers and thinkers.
On the public appearance front, Atwood delivered the keynote address at the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Fall Conference in Seattle between September 11th and 14th, where attendees noted her powerful words on censorship, the future of literature, and the responsibility of writers in turbulent times. Looking ahead, Atwood will be taking the stage at Vancouver Writers Fest in October for a feature event and an end-of-year memoir discussion scheduled at the Orpheum in December, as detailed by CreateAstir. She remains an in-demand voice at major festivals and literary conversations around the globe.
There’s more recognition coming: PEN America announced Atwood as one of the recipients of the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Bravery in Literature, honoring her lifelong defense of free expression. The ceremony, slated for October 11th, will shine another bright spotlight on her advocacy for writers and intellectual freedom.
With active social media commentary, mainstream news coverage, top billing at writers’ conferences, and a new award for literary courage, Margaret Atwood continues to transform every development—controversy or celebration—into another milepost in an ever-expanding biography.
