Remember that overrated 1980s feminist dystopian novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, that you were supposed to think was a profound critique of the patriarchy and a “chilling” vision of a not-so-alternative reality? Well, it’s back as a television series that the Left is hyping as a “timely” vision in the era of Ultra-MisogynistBigotedHitlerianXenophobe Donald Trump. But one person who is clearly not a huge fan of Margaret Atwood’s book is the inimitable Norm MacDonald, who weighed in on the novel on Twitter in a way that only he can do.
In response to an interview with Atwood about her resurrected novel, in which the interviewer and author tried to tie it to the era of Trump, MacDonald offered up some thoughts on the “sub-par piece of science-fi trash” in a series of tweets.
