“Ms. Atwood, I’m a huge fan. I’ve read everything you’ve written. Well, almost everything, I might have missed one or two of the dystopias.”
“There’s a hot plate on the counter,” said Margaret Atwood. “And a bar fridge. Doesn’t have a lot of space, but since you’re sad and alone it will probably fit what you need. Which I’m guessing is mostly wine.”
“Ha ha ha ha. Your trademark caustic wit.”

No living author is allowed to write a book that is over eight hundred pages, she thought. Unless you’re Donna Tartt or Ann-Marie MacDonald. In which case you can write double that and I will read every delicious damn word.

And she couldn’t totally blame them because they’d all heard the rumours that these things, while hard to prove, really did happen in their insular industry.

Jules gazed at her, unblinking. “You know, Francy-Pants, I rather thought that as a writer, you’d be able to see the shades of grey.”
