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. With her characteristic sharpness and keen insight, Atwood reveals the delicate ties between experience and creation, and between reality and the written word. She also opens an intimate window into her relationship with the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and the emotional landscapes that nourished her writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuminous, revealing, and deeply human, \u003cem\u003eLibro de mis vidas\u003c\/em\u003e is not only the chronicle of a unique journey but also a sharp reflection on what it means to write, remember, and transform experience into literature. A fascinating testimony from one of the most influential voices of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Margaret Atwood has titled her eagerly awaited memoir \u003cem\u003eLibro de mis vidas\u003c\/em\u003e because that is exactly what it is: the engaging, generous, and good-humored account of the lives that fate handed to someone always ready to downplay herself: from a wild childhood to a wandering youth; from awakening as the poet recently awarded the \u003cem\u003ePremio Internacional Joan Margarit\u003c\/em\u003e to the consecration as a novelist; and from maturity as the prophetic author of \u003cem\u003eEl cuento de la criada\u003c\/em\u003e to the years of widowhood after the 2019 death of her second husband, Graeme Gibson, companion for almost a lifetime and father of her daughter. 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.
