Atwood writing Handmaid’s Tale sequel, due out in 2019 CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — Thanks to public demand, and a certain American president, Margaret Atwood is writing a sequel to her million-selling The Handmaid's Tale. The Testaments will be published next September by Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, the publisher announced Wednesday. The book is set 15 years after the final scene of Offred, narrator of The Handmaid's
Tale. Atwood's novel about a dystopian society in the imagined land of Gilead was a bestseller when first published in 1985 and was back on the charts after Donald Trump's election in 2016. The novel is also the basis for an acclaimed miniseries on Hulu. Atwood, a Canadian author, said in a statement that the sequel was inspired by readers' questions about Gilead and by the “world we've been living in.”

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Experts say a photo thought to be of a young Vincent van Gogh has turned out most likely to be of his brother, Theo. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam said Thursday that forensic testing by experts at Amsterdam University “confirmed the high likelihood of the boy in the photograph being the 15-year-old Theo van Gogh, and not Vincent.”
The museum said there is now only one known photographic portrait of the camera-shy Dutch artist. The photo was first publicly presented in 1957 by researcher Mark Edo Tralbaut. A Dutch television program called into question whether it was indeed of Vincent in 2014, prompting further research. Museum Director Axel Rueger says the discovery “means that we have rid ourselves of an illusion, while gaining a portrait of Theo.”
