Burning Questions: Essays and Occasional Pieces, 2004 to 2021 by Margaret Atwood

Description: Burning Questions by Margaret Atwood Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this brilliant selection of essays, the award-winning, best-selling author of The Handmaids Tale and The Testaments offers her funny, erudite, endlessly curious, and uncannily prescient take on everything from whether or not The Handmaids Tale is a dystopia to the importance of how to define granola—and seeks answers to Burning Questions such as... • Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories? Including thoughts on the writing of The Handmaids Tale, The Testaments, Oryx & Crake, and Atwoods other beloved works. • How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating? • How can we live on our planet? • Is it true? And is it fair? • What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism? In more than fifty pieces, Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humor at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds. This roller-coaster period brought the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic. From when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to Atwoods views on the climate crisis, we have no better guide to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.
