What is the author's opinion on the article comparing The Handmaid's Tale to the current political climate?
What a silly, silly article. Almost as silly as The Handmaid's Tale. And to mention Trump in the context of Atwood's novel is an attempt to lower our collective IQ. I am guilty of wasting a fraction of my existence by actually reading that novel, I must admit. A time, though insignificant, I will never get back. As a kid,  behind the Iron Curtain, I read a very prohibited copy of 1984- a story that had a profound meaning to those of us trapped in the middle of the experiment which Orwell described so skillfully, but to find anything meaningful in the 21st century North America that would relate to the Atwood's story borders on paranoia.
