From WSJbooks: Hollywood turned Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” into a TV show. Her sequel attempts to reclaim her dystopian vision for literature. Sam_Sacks reviews 'The Testaments.'

Nine years after Miguel de Cervantes’s “Don Quixote” was published to enormous international success, a sequel appeared continuing the misadventures of the delusional knight errant. The problem was that this book was written by an imposter, a man known by the pen name Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda.

Cervantes, who had been secretly working on a follow-up, was incensed, and when he brought out the true second volume the following year, it contained numerous sneering references to Avellaneda’s knockoff. In one chapter a character recounts visiting the gates of hell and watching devils use a copy as a tennis ball.
