Margaret Atwood says she failed to predict the outcome of last week's U.S. election.

The Canadian author's 1985 dystopia The Handmaid’s Tale was inspired by discussions the religious right had been having.

She also predicts “You’re going to hear a lot more talk about class than we’ve been having since the 1940s ”.
