By the author of THE HANDMAID'S TALE and ALIAS GRACE
 
 Pigs might not fly but they are strangely altered.
 
So, for that matter, are wolves and racoons. A man, once named Jimmy, lives in a tree, wrapped in old bedsheets, now calls himself Snowman.

The voice of Oryx, the woman he loved, teasingly haunts him. And the green-eyed Children of Crake are, for some reason, his responsibility.
 
*Praise for Oryx and Crake:
 
'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'

'Gripping and remarkably imagined'
