4.0
I picked this book up assuming it was another of Atwood's sets of short stories. It is not that. It is however an interesting look at Atwood's life and her perspective on writing. There were definitely points that I felt visceral and others that meant little to me. I think it's a good read for those that like to read authors' ruminations on their own writing. Not anything too big or life-changing, but a good relaxing read.
Moderate: Death
Atwood uses multiple examples to describe the feeling of writing as well as some anecdotes about her childhood and growing up. Some of these may contain triggering elements.
