Margaret Atwood's Blog, RMW Music Studio, March 9, with Ron Mann

“Taking us behind the curtain of Margaret Atwood’s travelling medicine show, In the Wake of the Flood offers a candid, revealing portrait of the author as activist oracle — Atwood is the ultimate camp counsellor, mounting a pageant to save the planet with a birdsong in her heart and a silent spring in her step.” - Brian D. Johnson
