*Canceled * The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood

featuring Pamela Cooper, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature

“The novel that put Atwood on the literary map…is both a scathingly funny satire of consumerism and a heady exploration of emotional cannibalism….Marked by blazingly surreal humor and a colorful cast of eccentric characters, The Edible Woman is a groundbreaking work of fiction.”—Penguin Random House

“Witty, subversive, hilarious, The Edible Woman is dazzling and utterly original.”—New Canadian Library

“Atwood has the magic of turning the particular and the parochial into the universal.” —The Times (London)

“Disconcerting, faintly ominous, and moving with the greatest of ease from the expected to the unexpected….Waywardly funny….A distinct pleasure to read.” —Kirkus Reviews

Meeting Date: Tuesdays, April 14 and 21
