Well, almost everything!
The other inspiration is the world weve been living in.
The Hulu series concluded its second season this past summer andis due to return for a third.
EW has learned that the book will not be connected to the TV series.
I have published Margaret Atwoods work since 1976 her poetry, fiction and nonfiction, Nan A. Talese said.
A manuscript from her is always a reason for joy.
She writes wonderfully and has a mind like a steel trap.
This new book is no exception.
The Testamentswill be published on Sept. 10, 2019.
