520    "A new collection of essays from Margaret Atwood, the 
       internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of The 
       Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
