The Tent

The Tent

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p><i><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i></b></i><br><br>In this delightful m©lange of short fiction, Margaret Atwood pushes the boundaries of form in intriguing directions. Alongside meditations on warlords, cat heaven, and orphans, she offers a sly pep talk to the ambitious young, laments the proliferation of photos of oneself, imagines an apocalypse of worms, and recalls Helen of Troy€s childhood Kool-Aid stand. In the title fable, a writer huddled inside a tent of paper engages in doodling as self-defense, scribbling on the walls in a frantic attempt to keep out encroaching horrors. Adorned with her own playful illustrations, <i>The Tent </i>is replete with Atwood€s droll humor, keen insight, and lyric brilliance.<br><br></p>
