DJ and boards show very light shelf wear, previous owner's name on FFEP. ; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 219 pages; "What is the role of the Writer Prophet High Priest of Art Court Jester Or witness to the real world Looking back on her own childhood and writing career, Margaret Atwood examines the metaphors which writers of fiction and poetry have used to explain--or excuse!--their activities, looking at what costumes they have assumed, what roles they have chosen to play. In her final chapter she takes up the challenge of the title: if a writer is to be seen as "gifted", who is doing the giving and what are the terms of the gift Atwood's wide reference to other writers, living and dead, is balanced by anecdotes from her own experiences, both in Canada and elsewhere.
