"The prolonged section describe the child slave/sex trade are just awful.
It feels to me to be a narrative devoid if a story at the moment. Its endless backstory just lumped on endlessly. Atwood was clearly borm to write, theres no doubting the elegant swiftness and beauty of her prose. But i find myself disengaged from the overall thing; the post apocalyptic aspects seem almost banal compared to some other attempts." — Apr 13, 2026 08:29AM

“Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing...
And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes.
And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was still red, his eyes not yet extinguished.
Behind me, I heard the same man asking:
"For God's sake, where is God?"
And from within me, I heard a voice answer:
"Where He is? This is where--hanging here from this gallows..."
That night, the soup tasted of corpses.”
