"Delectably astringent. . . . These succinct, acridly funny pieces. . . deliver a heady punch." - Los Angeles Times "She has a cool wit, sometimes brutally satirical, always entertaining, and serious to the bone." -Katherine Dunn, The Oregonian "Atwood's sentences have more bounce and boogie than those of most twentysomethings.... And although these stories take many forms, from extended metaphor to anecdote, from poem to gag, they are all very much to do with the life and opinions of Margaret Atwood." - The Times (London)" The Tent exposes the nuts and bolts of the tortuous creative process....The book powerfully exhibits the human consciousness in conversation with itself, struggling to establish a voice amid the cacophony." - The Observer, "Delectably astringent. . . .

And when she's barbed, she's better." -Seattle Times "[Atwood] proves she is an accomplished miniaturist…She can pack more wallop into less space than any other writer in her weight class." -Toronto Globe and Mail Praise forBluebeards's Egg "Atwood's crisp wit and steely realism are reminiscent of Edith Wharton." -Christian Science Monitor "Margaret Atwood renders visual, aural, and tactile events in such crisp, surprising language that her images crackle off the page." -The Washington Post, "Delectably astringent. . . .

Synopsis
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale 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, The Tent is replete with Atwood's droll humor, keen insight, and lyric brilliance., Alongside meditations on warlords, cat heaven, and orphans, the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments 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, The Tent is a delightful mélange of short fiction that pushes the boundaries of form in intriguing directions, replete with Atwood's droll humor, keen insight, and lyric brilliance.

- n***a (190)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMy kid really wanted this, and she likes it. I don’t think the value is great, just more HP commercialism. (She paid me and I ordered, btw.) The price from this seller on eBay is less than anywhere else we found. Reviews citing LONG wait between order and receiving the items are correct: give this seller a full 2 weeks to get items to you. The set arrived carefully packaged and pristine. Overall, my daughter is very pleased with the item. If you can be patient, seller offers good value.
