Why I loathe Margaret Atwood

Have a look at this interview. Why is she so nasty? If she doesn’t like interviews (as she claims) then don’t do them. Ah, but she does like doing them — she likes being mean and pompous and trying to make other people feel small and look foolish. The interviewer had some very interesting points about Atwood’s writing which Atwood blew off and tried to twist into something trite. Have a look, what do you think?
