Margaret Atwood is indeed Canadian. I believe that Canadians, mexicans and central Americans do not refer to themselves as American, nor should they. They refer to themselves by nationality not by continent of Residence. Am I correct? I think that when we say American in this context we mean people of the Us.
Perhaps we need a thread on Great Canadian books, I believe there are many and people are not as aware of them as they should be. However, as a guest I believe that I am not permitted to start such a thread..it would be interesting. I do very much enjoy these threads as they give me lots of new authrors to explore..thanks all.
