"The Handmaid's Tale" is selling again.
Since President-elect Donald Trump clinched his return to the White House, Margaret Atwood's dystopian classic about a country in which women are brutally repressed has been high on the Amazon.com best seller list.
"The Handmaid's Tale" was popular throughout Trump's first term, along with such dark futuristic narratives as George Orwell's "1984" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," both of which were in the Amazon top 40 as of Thursday afternoon.
Another best-seller from Trump's previous time in office, Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century," was in the top 10.
