Imploring everybody to read more #Atwood

It was about a little girl who was so poor she had only one potato left for her supper and while she was roasting it the potato got up and ran away. There was the usual chase, but I can't remember the ending: a significant lapse.

"That story was one of your favourites," says my mother. She is probably still under the impression that I identified with the little girl, with her hunger and her sense of loss, whereas in reality I identified with the potato.

@pikesley I am in fact watching more Atwood. I liked Handmaid’s Tale more when I couldn’t see a straight line from here to there for the US.
