by MARGARET ATWOOD - correct answer



TYPE OF NOVEL (GENRE) - correct answer



- - correct answer Anti-utopian / dystopian novel



- - correct answer Speculative fiction



- - correct answer Published in 1986



HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL VIEWPOINT (BACKGROUND) - correct answer



Margaret Atwood is one of Canada's leading living writers. Her perceptive, thoughtful novels have won
wide acclaim across the English-speaking world and she has also gained a reputation as a poet. - correct
answer



Atwood wrote The Handmaid's Tale in West Berlin and Alabama in the mid-1980s. The novel, published
in 1986, quickly became a best-seller, though at first it was banned from several US high schools. She
started writing the novel while she was in West Berlin. The Soviet Empire was still in place and was not
to crumble for yet another five years. During her visits to various countries behind the Iron Curtain she
experienced the wariness, the feeling of being spied on the silences, the changes of subject, the oblique
ways in which people might convey information, the repurposed buildings, and these had an influence
on what she was writing. Having been born in 1939 and at one point being aware of the World War II,
Atwood believed that established orders could vanish overnight and change could be as fast as lightning.
