Praise
“[Burning Questions] reflects both the urgency of the issues dear to her—literature, feminism, the environment, human rights—and their combustibility…The book’s scope and the perspicacity of her writing evince the reading and thinking of a long life well lived.”
—Washington Post
“Inspiring…Always in demand for her keen perception and bewitching storytelling, Atwood presents witty, parrying, and complexly illuminating tales about her long, ever-vital writing life.”
—Booklist
“This collection is marked both by her ongoing concern with the ethical and moral issues her fiction raises and an appealing flexibility in terms of subject matter…Smart and concerned essays and arguments from an author whose global concerns haven’t flagged.”
—Kirkus
“Canadian poet, novelist and literary critic Margaret Atwood’s diverse and intense interests in subjects from feminism to climate change are on full display in her latest book.”
—Associated Press
“Atwood’s writing voice is both accessible and compelling: she invites you in, and you want to keep reading…Despite the difficult truths told across these many pages, there is humor here and there is hope…This collection clearly shows what many of us already know, Atwood is one of our greatest writers, and although she claims to not be prophetic (ha!), we should all pay attention to what she’s saying.”
—The Brooklyn Rail
Praise for Margaret Atwood
“Margaret Atwood [is] a living legend.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“One of the most admired practitioners of the novel in North America.”
—Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune
“Brilliant…Atwood is a poet….as well as a contriver of fiction, and scarcely a sentence of her quick, dry yet avid prose fails to do useful work, adding to a picture that becomes enormous.”
—The New Yorker
“There may be no novelist better suited to tapping the current era’s anxieties than Margaret Atwood.”
—Entertainment Weekly
