I haven't read any of Atwood's novels since "Bluebeard's Egg", but I've read and enjoyed a lot of her non-fiction writing. I've seen her interviewed on TV a few times recently, and she came across as reasonably pleasant. Perhaps that reputation of coldness lingers from her youth. In those days, Al Purdy wrote an amusing poem "Concerning Ms. Atwood": http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categorie...ms-atwood.html
