ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. As the United States ramps up Election season, ACOFAE reflects on the past - to 1985 specifically with Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. As ACOFAE's first speculative fiction novel, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discuss the genre, the message, and the ending of this book that left Laura Marie speechless when she first read it. Conversations abound about the issue that arises when the visual media overtakes the source material and what happens when fandom conversations superimpose themselves on the actual content. The Handmaid's Tale is not an easy read but it is an important one that ends with notes of change and reflection, if not joy. If we don't study the past we will repeat it. Right? RIGHT?! Laura Marie's audio is a bit wonky, Sam is annoyed about it WEBSITES: https://lithub.com/margaret-atwood-on-how-she-came-to-write-the-handmaids-tale/ https://www.litcharts.com/lit/the-handmaid-s-tale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-42q_VkuGPY https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/03/margaret-atwood-dishes-on-new-story-collection-trials-of-censorship/ https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/2019/09/margaret-atwood-handmaids-tale-testaments-real-life-inspiration https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/margaret-atwood-interview-season-4-handmaids-tale-1171567/ https://www.businessinsider.com/handmaids-tale-based-on-real-world-origins-history-events-2019-8 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/blog/the-handmaid-s-tale-10-intriguing-facts-about-margaret-atwood-s-dystopian-novel-1.4086298 https://www.stylist.co.uk/books/handmaids-tale-true-story/130001 TW / CW: Sexual assault, suicide, patriarchy For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ Spoilers: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, slight spoilers from the ACOTAR series, including ACOSF (A Court of Silver Flames) Mentions: Game of Thrones, The Boys, ACOTAR, House of the Dragon, Serpent and Dove *Thank you for listening to us!
