MARGARET ATWOOD - GEBRAUCHT ORYX AND CRAKE - PR...

Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction and the Booker Prize Pigs might not fly but they
are strangely altered. So  for that matter  are wolves and racoons.A man  once named Jimmy  now
calls himself Snowman and lives in a tree  wrapped in old bed sheets. The voice of Oryx  the
woman he loved  teasingly haunts him. And the green-eyed Children of Crake are  for some reason
his responsibility. Welcome to the outrageous imagination of Margaret Atwood. 'In Jimmy  Atwood
has created a great character: a tragic-comic artist of the future  part buffoon  part Orpheus.
An adman who's a sad man  a jealous lover who's in perpetual mourning  a fantasist who can only
remember the past' Lisa Appignanesi  Independent 'The novel is about hubris and humans playing
god - literally  in the case of Crake  the embittered genius whose secret project is
responsible for the devastation that now surrounds Snowman' Joan Smith  Observer 'Superlatively
gripping and remarkably imagined . . . the novel is simultaneously alive with literary
resonances' Peter Kemp  Sunday Times 'A success and a breakthrough . . . a highly cinematic
adventure story of daring and survival' Elaine Showalter  London Review of Books
