Canadian author and poet Margaret Atwood discusses her life and work.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's 2008 Massey Lectures in audio book format. Plug on your earphones and take a long, leisurely walk toting your mp3 player as you listen to the legendary novelist, poet, and essayist Margaret Atwood delivering a surprising look at the topic of debt. In her wide-ranging, entertaining, and imaginative approach to the subject, Atwood proposes that debt is like air - something we take for granted until things go wrong. And then, while gasping for breath, we become very interested in it. A fresh perspective in the midst of global financial crisis, indeed!
