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.
