As in The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), her classic takedown of totalitarian theocratic misogyny, the author’s satiric wit is razor-sharp and unsparing. But examines isn’t the right word for what Atwood accomplishes here eviscerates is more fitting. Part dystopian satire, part post-apocalyptic nightmare, the novel examines the flaws of contemporary society through the lens of an imagined future that could all too easily come to pass.
