The new cover from Margaret Atwood’s upcoming book BURNING QUESTIONS has just been revealed! In it she discusses her observations about the world around her and shares her personal insights on everything from climate change to women’s rights.
When asked why she decided to assemble this collection of essays in an exclusive cover reveal interview with Oprah Magazine, Atwood replied “It’s been a wild ride so far, the twenty-first century. Many of the issues that have been smoldering for decades have now burst into flames. Unless we can answer them, quickly and effectively, so will we.”
This brilliant selection of essays—funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient—seeks answers to Burning Questions such as:
• Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?
• How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating?
• How can we live on our planet?
• Is it true? And is it fair?
• What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?
In over fifty pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humor at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom, from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) and how to define granola, we have no better guide than Atwood to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.
