Margaret Atwood Quotes

It's The Forties Look," She Says To George, Hand On Her Hip, Doing A Pirouette. "Rosie The Riveter. From The War. Remember Her?"
George, Whose Name Is Not Really George, Does Not Remember. He Spent The Forties Rooting Through Garbage Bag Heaps And Begging, And Doing Other Things Unsuitable For A Child. He Has A Dim Memory Of Some Film Star Posed On A Calendar Tattering On A Latrine Wall. Maybe This Is The One Prue Means. He Remembers For An Instant His Intense Resentment Of The Bright, Ignorant Smile, The Well-fed Body. A Couple Of Buddies Had Helped Him Take Her Apart With The Rusty Blade From A Kitchen Knife They'd Found Somewhere In The Rubble. He Does Not Consider Telling Any Of This To Prue.
