This roller-coaster period brought the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic. From when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to Atwood's views on the climate crisis, we have no better guide to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARGARET ATWOOD\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003e whose work has been published in more than forty-five countries, is the author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry, critical essays, and graphic novels.
