Burning Questions: The Sunday Times bestseller from Booker prize winner Margaret Atwood

English

By (author): Margaret Atwood

Atwood aims her constant curiosity and impish humour at our world and reports back to us on what she finds, in this frank, generous gift of a book.

In it she seeks answers to Burning Questions such as:

  • Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?
  • How can we live on our planet?
  • What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?

The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.

INCLUDES NEW MATERIAL FOR PAPERBACK

A wonderfully written insight into everything from zombies to the climate crisis Stylist

The mighty Margaret Atwood writes about everything from granola to Trump' The Times
