Margaret Atwood has written a memoir, which will be out on Nov. 4. Why? "My publishers made me do it," the Canadian novelist told @Vogue in a new interview about the book. "When they first proposed it, I said, ‘Oh, that would be so boring.’ I mean, I wrote a book, I wrote another book, I wrote another book…Who’s going to read that?” Here's more on "Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts," plus Atwood's thoughts on what makes a good biography, "The Handmaid's Tale" and its pertinence, and Trump's fixation with making Canada the 51st U.S. state. "I think it’s lovely that the United States has recognized its mistake and wishes to join Canada so they can have a king,” Atwood says, “but it wouldn’t be the 51st state. It would be 10 new states and two territories, which would mean that the Republicans would never get elected again. So he’s welcome to try.”
