Margaret Atwood has been publishing books with Anansi since the ’60’s when we published The Circle Game — we’ve even published her children’s book Up in the Tree on the Groundwood side. Her most recent adult book with us was Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, which will soon be a movie on a screen near you. So, we thought it would be fantastic to ask her which of our books she’d give as a Christmas present. And she even agreed to let us turn her into a dancing elf . . .

For festive giving Margaret Atwood recommends:

“For: Bleeding edge experimentalists and all those actually alive in 1969. Anyway I know the characters.

What: Five Legs, by Graeme Gibson.”
