Jennie read and liked Valerie's review of Negotiating with the Dead:

"Less a book about how to write. Rather a theory on what a writer is and why a writer writes. Atwood explores fascinating terrain by examining the poets and myths of old. An intriguing read if you want something a little thicker to chew on. "
