<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The brilliant Booker Prize-winning author of nearly 40 books here addresses the twin arts of writing and reading in what could become a necessary classic for all admirers of great literature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i></b> <p/>In this wise and irresistibly quotable book, one of the most intelligent writers now working in English addresses the riddle of her art: why people pursue it, how they view their calling, and what bargains they make with their audiences, both real and imagined. To these fascinating issues Margaret Atwood brings a candid appraisal of her own experience as well as a breadth of reading that encompasses everything from Dante to Elmore Leonard. An ambitious artistic inquiry conducted with unpretentious charm, <i>Negotiating with the Dead </i>is an invaluable insider's view of the writer's universe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A delight. . . .
