The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of The Odyssey: what led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in The Odyssey doesn’t hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I’ve always been haunted by the hanged maids; and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself.” (From introduction).

3793. “[Recommended reading].” Washington Post 4 December 2005: Section: Book World: T08. Atwood is one of 14 writers who were asked what book they would recommend to a friend craving a little escape from the world’s cares. Her answer: “A book for a friend craving escape from the cares of the world? In a shameless act of cronyism, I will recommend The Bedside Book of Birds by Graeme Gibson—despite the fact that he’s been my dear companion for 32 years—because it fills the bill perfectly. Your friend will be freed from those cares of the world in an instant, on wings of song and with the aid of 180 stunning images of bird-related artworks that Graeme collected from many times and places. The world your friend will escape into is the world of birds, but not just that—it’s the world of humankind’s imagining of birds. This miscellany—poems, bits of novels, myths, recipes and more—covers the whole range. By the time your friend gets to the last chapter, the one about Hope, that friend will be out of this world.”

Atwood, one of 11 novelists, artists, and scientists who were asked for their top tips on how to be creative, wrote: “I have a great big cupboard stuffed with ideas and when I want one I open the door and take the first one that falls out. Alternatively, if you want an idea, do the following. Close your eyes, put your left hand on the ground, raise your right hand into the air. You are now a conductor. The ideas will pass through you. Sooner or later one will pass through your brain. It never fails, though the waiting times vary and sometimes lunch intervenes.”
