Title: Margaret Atwood a Biography
Description: Toronto, ECW Press, 1998. 1st edition. Hardcover. pp. 378.Royal 8vo,,,Margaret Atwood is presently Canada's most famous writer - outside of Canada. Her prominence is probably justified, as she is a fine writer, and most commercial publishers would be pleased to publish her work. Unlike the vast majority of her Canadian contemporaries who can only peck away at the writing craft with the help of government grants and financial aid. Surely, the best way to keep a country's writers mediocre is to pay them to write; rather than paying them for what they write. A case in point is this biography, which was published with the support of the Canada Council and the Ontario Arts Council. Ill.: black-and-white photographs. Small (coffee?) stain to bottom and foredge of text block; else very good in very sl. scuffed, gd+/vg dj. ISBN 1550223089.
