There was also Booker Prize-winning and celebrated Canadian writer and poet Margaret Atwood. Margaret Atwood is a winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature as well as the Booker Prize (many times) and the Governor General’s Award. Animals and the surroundings feature in many of her books, particularly her speculative fiction, which reflects a strong take on environmental issues. Many of her latest works (e.g., Oryx, and Crake, Year of the Flood, MaddAddam) are eco-fiction and could be considered environment fiction. Atwood and partner, novelist Graeme Gibson, will be the joint honorary presidents of the Rare Bird Club within BirdLife International.
Atwood’s very popular graphic book Angel Catbird reflects an environmental level of sensitivity to the balance between animals and humans and their household pets in urban configurations. Atwood’s choice for 2016 books originated from her energetic, astute, and compassionate environmentalism. Suggesting that lots of of her ‘The Year in Reading’ co-readers would stress fiction, history, and politics, Atwood chose her books from a still-neglected sector “instead.

Yet it cannot be “owned” or kept. “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, THE WAY THEY Communicate-Discoveries From a Secret World” (Greystone Books) by Peter Wohlleben. “Weeds: In Defense of Nature’s Most Unloved Plants” (Ecco) by Richard Mabey.
