Margaret Atwood is Coming to Wellesley Tonight

WELLESLEY, MA- Tonight Margaret Atwood will be speaking at Alumnae Hall Auditorium at Wellesley University. Wellesley invited Atwood to speak as part of its "Distinguished Thinker" series of free talks.

The series aims to get distinguished novelists, poets, writers, philosophers, artists, performers, and other humanists come to Wellesley to read, lecture, and share their work. Though the events are usually held in the drawing room of the Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities, this headlining name has the team expecting a bigger audience. Tickets are free and open to the public.

Atwood is the author of more than 40 books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. Her novels include The Blind Assassin, winner of the Booker Prize; Alias Grace, which won the Giller Prize in Canada and the Premio Mondello in Italy; and The Robber Bride, Cat’s Eye, and The Handmaid’s Tale, which will soon be made into an MGM and Hulu TV series. Atwood lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.
