Yes, I realize that Alias Grace is on Netflix. I’m not familiar with the other one.

I was thinking of the many other novels she wrote (e.g., Cat’s Eye, Lady Oracle, The Blind Assassin, the MaddAdam trilogy, etc.)

Maybe I am just burned out on The Handmaid’s Tale after reading it so many times and teaching it to so many undergrads. Though it is gratifying to see it make a comeback in popular culture.

I realize that everything that happens in THT has happened at some point in human history, but I don’t think it’s realistic to believe that our society is going to turn into the one in the novel.

Though I do think it’s more likely that we would all die in a nuclear war before that happened... Maybe On the Beach should be adapted for Hulu.
