I think I am in love with Margaret Atwood

[avrelia]

or I definitely want to be that much fun as she is.

I saw her on Monday, at 92Y, promoting paperback of The Year of the Flood.

She read, she sang, she told funny stories, she and Valerie Martin who introduced her were on fire, and the audience was in love. They chatted about eating maggots and ants and saving birds and speculative fiction and dystopias and books and bees, and we all laughed in delight.

Obviously, I could have also seen her in Toronto, but I didn't.
