NOW A SMASH-HIT CHANNEL 4 TV SERIESWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION FROM MARGARET ATWOODThe Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function to breed If she deviates she will like dissenters be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire

- to keep reminding & resonating & ringing Dong dong dong' Guardian
