Margaret Atwood has a proven talent for capturing history’s tendency to repeat itself — one that has led some to call her a prophet, writes @lucyfeld. In 2017, her landmark 1985 novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, soared back to the best-seller list when it became one of a handful of classic dystopias that seemed to portend troubling themes of the current era and evoke prescient anxieties about women’s rights. On Sept. 10, @therealmargaretatwood returns to the Republic of Gilead in her highly anticipated sequel, The Testaments. Certain scenes from The Testaments — children ripped from the arms of their parents, flights across borders, inhumane detention centers — track closely with today’s headlines. But Atwood points to multiple historical examples for each. She has a rule that each of the dark circumstances, rules and customs in her Gilead novels, which range from genocide to ritual rape, must have a historical precedent. “I didn’t want people saying, like some have said, ‘How did you make up all this twisted stuff?’” Atwood sees her role as the person who drops a flare on the highway — she wrote the new book in part because she worries the world is trending more toward Gilead than away from it.
