Reply to comment by Felinacat in It's so nice re-reading a favorite by ackthisisamess

I'll note these down, thanks for sharing! Would you say that Margaret Atwood writes some books that might fit in the magical realism genre?

Hmmm, good question. I'd say the character of Zenia in the Robber Bride brings an element of myth (she's a witch, a monster, etc.) but beyond that I'm not too sure.

Hmm I like mythical elements.

Would you say that Atwood's books also have a good balance of character and world building?

Sorry for all the questions!
