Margaret Atwood: ‘People bond to the books. Nobody wants my shoelaces’
The writer, 75, on scary parties, dystopian fiction and being short PEOPLE SEE MY HEAD ON A BOOK AND ATTACH A TALL BODY TO IT. The image of somebody that you have accorded status to in your mind is a large one; the Greeks always made the gods quite tall. I’m short. Shorter than you think. I THREW AMAZINGLY SCARY PARTIES FOR MY LITTLE SISTER. She was born on 30 October and her birthdays were a hot item.

SYRIZA Leads by Slim Margin in Polls as Greece's Snap Vote Draws Near
Leftist SYRIZA party is leading by a thin margin ahead of its conservative rival New Democracy a week before the snap elections in Greece, the latest opinion polls conducted on September 11 have shown. A poll conducted by the University of Macedonia for Skai TV and Kathimerini showed 28.5% support for SYRIZA versus 27.5% for New Democracy. Compared to the data gathered by the same pollster a week earlier, SYRIZA has increased its support by 1.5 percentage points and New Democracy by half a point. A GPO poll showed SYRIZA leading with 26%, just 0.2 points ahead of New Democracy. Two other polls also put the party of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras ahead, with a survey by Metron showing 31.7% support for SYRIZA and 31.3% for New Democracy, while a ProRata poll in left-leaning daily newspaper Efimerida ton Syndakton gave SYRIZA 28.5% support versus 23.5% for the conservatives. Tsipras resigned last month to force early elections in an attempt to quash a rebellion in SYRIZA ranks over the terms of Greece's new bailout deal with international creditors and capitalize on his popularity to win outright majority in parliament.
