Abstract

This chapter examines the intermedial storytelling techniques employed in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, focusing on the adaptation from novel to television series. It explores how the use of popular music in the Hulu adaptation enhances narrative themes and creates a hybrid medium that blurs the boundaries between literary and cinematic forms. The chapter also delves into the postcolonial and feminist themes that connect Atwood's work to Ben Okri's novel The Famished Road, offering a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of these narratives.
