About

Margaret Atwood, a firebrand for truth, wrote the Handmaid's Tale decades before it became a global hit on TV-screens. This then led her to write a sequel, The Testaments, which is also now available for streaming. What makes these dystopias so popular? We'll explore these and other questions, also in the light of her latest book, a memoir of sorts, published last year. Maksuton englanninkielinen yleisluento, ei ennakkoilmoittautumista. Paikkoja rajoitetusti. Opistotalon korjaustyöt saattavat aiheuttaa häiriötä opetukseen.
