Wishful thinking is very strong – you don't see it coming, because you don't want to see it coming.

— Margaret Atwood

Currently reading Margaret Atwood's new book Hagseed, a retelling of my favourite Shakespeare play, The Tempest.

Is extreme goodness always weak?  Can a person be good only in the absence of power?  The Tempest asks us these questions.  There is of course another kind of strength, which is the strength of goodness to resist evil; a strength that Shakespeare's audience would have understood well.  But that kind of strength is not much on display in The Tempest.  Gonzalo is simply not tempted.  He doesn't have to say no to a sinfully rich dessert, because he's never offered one.

And here we are again! I just wrote down a blogpost about my thoughts on Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood if you're interested {link on bio} but all in all, I thought it was an entertaining read and a good re-retelling however predictable if you're familiar with The Tempest 💞 #hagseed #shakespeare #thetempest #fiction

Met Margaret Atwood a lecture/book signing last night and it made my life. What an amazing woman and author! 

I reviewed her latest book, Hag-Seed, a few months ago and now I’m really motivated to read more of her work. With 15+ novels alone, in addition to her short stories, poetry, non-fiction work and children’s books, there’s much to explore.
