Burning Questions - The Sunday Times bestselling collection of essays from Booker prize winner Margaret Atwood (Hardcover)

In this funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient collection of essays cultural icon Margaret Atwood asks: - Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories? - 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 over fifty pieces 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. 'Brilliant and funny' Joan Didion 'She's taken our times and made us wise to them' Ali Smith '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
