An ambitious inquiry into the art of writing and an unprecedented insider's view of the writer's universe, from the beloved author of The Handmaid's Tale.

What do we mean when we say that someone is a writer? Is he or she an entertainer? An improver of readers' minds and morals? And who, for that matter, are these mysterious readers? In this wise and irresistibly quotable book, one of the most intelligent writers working in English addresses the riddle of her art: why people pursue it, how they view their calling, and what bargains they make with their audience, both real and imagined. To these fascinating issues Booker Prize-winner Margaret Atwood brings a candid appraisal of her own experience as well as a breadth of reading that encompasses everything from Dante to Elmore Leonard.

Perfect for small spaces

I do like this table. The directions are less than desirable. I have put together MANY pieces of furniture. I put this entire thing together and realized at the end that I had some pieces backwards so the top would not collapse back to coffee table. Luckily when I took it back apart, I did not damage it beyond repair. It looks great and perfect size for my apartment livingroom. Great option to be able to use as a dining table on the rare occasion I need one. Price was right and it is pretty sturdy. Extra storage underneath for books and such.

Wonderful coffee table. Easy to assemble. Very durable, even when the table is fully folded out. Any little touch will leave fingerprints though, so be prepared to clean it a bunch

Cute and easy to use!
It came quickly and the directions were easy to follow! I will say that we used our electric screwdriver instead of the one provided just for when you’re screwing in the hinges— the one they provided was like dull and hard to use for that. But other than that it was seamless putting together. We use it almost everyday for kids schoolwork. I love storing their school books underneath as well. It’s lightweight enough that my kids (6 &7) can set up and put down the table themselves and it’s sturdy when using the full table or the pull up half table. Highly recommend!
