The Crakers’ reluctant prophet, Snowman-the-Jimmy, is hallucinating; Amanda is in shock from a Painballer attack; and Ivory Bill yearns for the provocative Swift Fox, who is flirting with Zeb. Meanwhile, giant Pigoons and malevolent Painballers threaten to attack.“There is something funny, even endearing, about such a dark and desperate view of a future—a ravaged world emerging from alarmingly familiar trends—that is so jam-packed with the gifts of imagination, invention, intelligence and joy. There may be some hope for us yet.”-Minneapolis Star TribuneTold with wit, dizzying imagination, and dark humour,MaddAddamis vintageMargaret Atwood- taking us further into a challenging dystopian world and holding up a skewed mirror to our own possible future.
