Introduction:
What role does the writer play? prophet? Priest of art? The jester? Or a witness to the real world? Margaret Atwood looks back on her childhood and writing process, examining the metaphors novelists and poets have used to explain or excuse their creative activities, and taking a closer look at the costumes writers have worn and the roles they have chosen to play. . She responded to the challenge of the book's title: If a writer is "uniquely gifted," then who gave him this "gift"? What are the conditions for this talent? She quoted extensively and talked about many living and deceased writers, as well as her own writing experience and anecdotes in the Canadian and international literary circles. Underneath the brisk tone is her serious attitude towards the purpose and pleasure of writing, as well as her deep understanding of the Western literary tradition and its confusion.
