Klappentext
"A new collection of essays from Margaret Atwood, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments. Short Description / Web 'About this Book' From literary icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of nonfiction-funny, erudite, intimate, impassioned, and always startlingly prescient-which grapples with such wide-ranging topics as: Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories? How do we get rid of the immense amount of plastic that's littering our seas and lands? How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating? Is science fiction now writing us? So what if beauty is only skin deep? What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism? Is it true? And is it fair? In over fifty pieces, taken from lectures, autobiographical essays, book reviews, cultural criticism, obituaries, and new introductions to her own body of work (including The Handmaid's Tale thirty years after its initial publication) as well as that of other writers, we watch Atwood aim her prodigious intellect and impish humor at the world, and report back to us on what she finds. From asking what society's youth expects from its elders (2004), to pondering the philosophical underpinnings of debt (2008, not surprisingly), to encountering a mysterious new platform called Twitter (2009), to asking if it is, in fact, too late to save the planet (2015) or what forces have been unleashed in the age of Trump (2016), and culminating in a breathtaking meditation on grief and poetry in the wake of her own loss (2020), Atwood provokes, probes, delights, surprises, and rewards the reader at every turn"--Biografie
Margaret Atwood, geboren 1939 in Ottawa, gehört zu den bedeutendsten Erzählerinnen unserer Zeit. Ihr »Report der Magd« wurde zum Kultbuch einer ganzen Generation. Bis heute stellt sie immer wieder ihr waches politisches Gespür unter Beweis, ihre Hellhörigkeit für gefährliche Entwicklungen und Strömungen. Sie wurde vielfach ausgezeichnet, unter anderem mit dem renommierten Man Booker Prize, dem Nelly-Sachs-Preis, dem Pen-Pinter-Preis und dem Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels. Margaret Atwood lebt in Toronto. Booker Prize 2019.![Margaret Atwood (geb. 1939): Burning Questions, Buch](https://media1.jpc.de/image/w468/front/0/9780593314074.jpg)
