Eric Webb
Author Margaret Atwood, of "The Handmaid's Tale" fame, will let Austin peer into her mind with the help of Paramount Theatre early next year.
The author will take part in "A Virtual Conversation for 2021 and Beyond" at 7 p.m. on Feb. 12.
The virtual event will feature Atwood "reflecting upon her work, the tumult of 2020, as well as insights on an uncertain future." Atwood’s 1985 novel "The Handmaid’s Tale" was famously adapted into a Hulu television series, and its sequel, "The Testaments," won the 2019 Booker Prize
