"It is not often that a writer achieves both widespread critical respect and popular success while tackling the most pressing social justice and ecological issues of her or his time. Rarer still is the writer who can depict our near futures so uncannily, predicting every wrong step we will take to get there. Rarest of all is the writer who can do all that with a light touch, in a style both erudite and accessible, ethical and satirical, humane and humorous. Over a career that spans more than 50 years, Margaret Atwood has been that rarest of writers." Margaret Atwood has been awarded the 2020 Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award by the Dayton Literary Peace Prize! Learn more about the achievement here:

"If you’re going to speak truth to power, make sure it’s the truth. That’s a good maxim.

"Dayton Literary Peace Prize officials announced Monday that Atwood is this year’s winner of a lifetime achievement award that celebrates literature’s power to foster peace, social justice and global understanding."
