Atwood's New Short Story Slams Canadian Book Bans

Margaret Atwood, renowned author, recently released a satirical short story criticizing the extensive book ban enacted in Alberta, Canada.

This ban, driven by conservative groups, targets books deemed to contain explicit sexual content, including Atwood's own Handmaid's Tale.

Atwood's new story, written in response, cleverly satirizes the situation, highlighting the absurdity of the censorship.

The story follows two excessively 'good' children, ironically showcasing the hypocrisy of those supporting the book ban's restrictive measures.
