Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1985. Inscribed copy of the true first edition First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Kelly - best wishes - Margaret Atwood". The Handmaid's Tale won the Arthur C. Clarke award in 1985 and has been adapted into a film (1990), an opera (2000), and, in 2017, a highly popular television series. This Canadian edition precedes all others.
The work has secured Atwood's place as one of the most prominent writers of the 20th century. Her choice to construct Gilead - the setting of the book - from real-world events has sustained its relevance across decades, finding new readers and fuelling academic debates. Atwood later explained that, while writing the novel, "I made a rule for myself: I would not include anything that human beings had not already done in some other place or time, or for which the technology did not already exist. I did not wish to be accused of dark, twisted inventions, or of misrepresenting the human potential for deplorable behaviour". Octavo. Original red and cream boards, spine lettered in cream, red endpapers. With dust jacket. Spine ends rubbed, couple of tiny marks to boards, faint foxing to edges, occasional gentle creasing to clean contents. A very good copy in near-fine dust jacket, short closed tear at head of rear panel, spine lightly sunned, jacket mildly toned but overall quite bright and sharp. "Margaret Atwood on How She Came to Write the Handmaid's Tale", Literary Hub, 25 April 2018, accessible online.
