The greatest writer of our time tells her story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised by scientifically minded and independent-spirited parents, Margaret Atwood spent much of her childhood in the remote forests of northern Quebec, far from social conventions. That nomadic and unbound childhood marked the beginning of an extraordinary path, which she narrates with clarity, irony, and wit, intertwining the decisive moments of her life with the works that have transformed contemporary narrative, such as \u003cem\u003eOjo de gato\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEl cuento de la criada\u003c\/em\u003e. Poets, actors, bears, bohemian figures, and almost supernatural characters parade by, seeming to come straight from her fictions.

The book is also the story of a lost time: the history of the postwar generation and the evolution of customs in the second half of the 20th century, the triumphs and tribulations of feminism, and those Canadian letters that emerged, thanks to her and her contemporaries, in the hegemonic shadow of the United States.” – Iker Seisdedos, \u003cem\u003eEl País\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMargaret Atwood\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ottawa, 1939) is one of the most recognized writers on the international scene.
