One of the world’s most celebrated authors, Margaret Atwood has penned a collection of smart and entertaining fictional essays, in the genre of her popular books Good Bones and Murder in the Dark, punctuated with wonderful illustrations by the author.

Chilling and witty, prescient and personal, delectable and tart, these highly imaginative, vintage Atwoodian essays speak on a broad range of subjects, reflecting the times we live in with deadly accuracy and knife-edge precision.

Reviews

The Tent feels very full, very intimate, with everything to hand and nothing redundant... Atwood’s sentences have more bounce and boogie than those of most twentysomethings. Toby Litt
The Times Full Review

The precision and concision she has honed over half a century’s devotion to that craft — getting maximum effect from the minimal — ensure that these terse pieces can speak volumes. Peter Kemp
The Sunday Times Full Review

Bracing, inventive and bristling with ideas, The Tent offers a fascinating glimpse into a writer’s mind. Christina Koning
The Times Full Review

these miniatures contain more humour, wisdom and profundity than literary canvases many times their size. Trevor Lewis
The Sunday Times Full Review

Atwood's touch is gloriously transformational... Her wit is quicksilver, simultaneously succinct and elusive. Caroline Moore
The Telegraph Full Review

this collection of short stories fizzes with variety in form and content, and with mischievous humour Jeff Robson
