Oryx and Crake // Margaret Atwood [engelska]

”Oryx and Crake is Atwood at her best, dark, dry, scabrously witty, yet moving and studded with flashes of pure poetry.”
The Independent

”Towering and intrepid. Atwood does Orwell one better.”
The New Yorker

A dystopia told backwards by the last man alive. Snowman remembers his friend Crake, the woman they both loved, and the biotech industry that engineered a new species and wiped out the old one along the way.

Margaret Atwood is Canadian and best known for The Handmaid's Tale. Oryx and Crake opens the MaddAddam trilogy and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

A good fit if you like speculative fiction that stays uncomfortably close to the present, and Atwood's dry humour. Readers keep saying the same thing: it reads less like science fiction every year.

Sold at Akademibokhandeln for 199 kr as a paperback edition.

”Shocking and darkly humorous. A book to galvanise.”
Daily Telegraph

”Both profound and impish. Atwood is one of the most impressively ambitious writers of our time.”
The Guardian
