From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of
essays -- funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient --
which seek answers to Burning Questions such as: Why do people
everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories? How can we live on our
planet? What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism? In
Burning Questions Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish
humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The
roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to
the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a
pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from
when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to
how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and
varied mysteries of our human universe. INCLUDES NEW ESSAYS FOR
PAPERBACK 'Brilliant and funny' Joan Didion 'She's taken our times
and made us wise to them' Ali Smith 'Lights a fire from the fears
of our age . . . Miraculously balances humor, outrage, and beauty'
New York Times Book Review 'All over the reading world, the history
books are being opened to the next blank page and Atwood's name is
written at the top of it' Anne Enright, Guardian 'The outstanding
novelist of our age' Sunday Times
