The popular and critically acclaimed author of more than 40 books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays, Margaret Atwood is perhaps best known for the dystopian The Handmaid’s Tale, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award. Her other novels include Alias Grace, Oryx and Crake, and The Blind Assassin, winner of the Booker Prize. In addition to her writing, she is an environmental activist, a founder of the Writers’ Trust of Canada, a patented inventor, and an opera librettist. Capitalizing on contemporary issues of economic hardship and corporate prison operators, The Heart Goes Last is a prophetic tale of love and voluntary incarceration.
