Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid’s Tale has become ‘more and more plausible’

Margaret Atwood -Old Elbows Up Crank

Margaret Atwood has said the plot of her book The Handmaid’s Tale, which tells a story of an authoritarian regime under which women are forced to reproduce, has become “more and more plausible” in recent years.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Atwood said she believed the plot was “bonkers” when she first developed the concept for the novel because the US was the “democratic ideal” at the time.

“It was the land of freedom … and people in Europe just didn’t believe that it could ever go like that,” she said.

“I’ve always been somebody who has never believed it can’t happen here. It can happen anywhere, given the circumstances.”

Has this crank ever raised her voice against Islam and sharia law?
