Margaret Atwood

I have been reading a postmodernist author, Margaret Atwood. The stories of Margaret Atwood are funny and in some ways she criticizes society and politics. I liked her style of writing because it is not very difficult to understand and her critiques are original, funny and sarcastic. For example in her work Tour de France, she tells the adventures she lived in her trip to Europe and with well known stories she shows the images that Americans have of the European and vice versa.

While reading Margaret Atwood, we can see some characteristic of postmodernism. One of these characteristics is that they combine different styles of known artist and combine it with their own ideas. Intertextuality is another element used in postmodernist work, where the author takes elements from another story. It very common in the postmodernist work that the characters of the story known that they are characters and that they belong to a story for example in the anime Excel Saga.
