Margaret Atwood is being interviewed by Matt Galloway. I am so there. I liken this to a big book club meeting with Margaret Atwood hosting. The book in discussion is her new book, Payback. Inevitably, someone talks about her involvement in the fight to stop library closures. She recounts how her return to the connected world from the wilds of Ontario put her amidst all the ‘Atwood for Mayor’ signs.
I am near the end of a very long line for the book signing. I mention that she must be getting tired. She stays silent. For a moment her face says it all, “I really don’t want to be here.”
