The Tent

A delightfully pointed m?lange of fictional pieces from one of the world? s most acclaimed and incisive authors, The Tent is a sparkling addition to Margaret Atwood? s always masterful work. Here Atwood pushes form once again, with meditations on warlords, pet heaven, and aging homemakers. She gives a sly pep talk to the ambitious young; writes about the disconcerting experience of looking at old photos of ourselves; and examines the boons and banes of orphanhood. Accompanied by her own playful illustrations, Atwood? s droll humor and keen insight make each piece full of clarity and grace. Prescient and personal, delectable and tart, The Tent reflects one of our wittiest authors at her best.
