MARGARET ATWOOD: How many times have you been shortlisted for the Booker Prize? Yeah, us too. Margaret Atwoods had this honour five times. The Handmaids Tale, her dystopian masterpiece that, for our money, is the must read book of her repertoire, received the first ever Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987. Some call the book science fiction, but Attwoods way too cool for that. She calls it speculative fiction. Science fiction has monsters and spaceships, she told The Guardian Speculative fiction could really happen. Thats whats so cool and unnerving about it. The womans a genius.
