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 mini-fictions speak on a broad range of subjects, reflecting the times we live in with deadly accuracy and knife-edge precision.
In pieces ranging in length from a mere paragraph to several pages, Atwood gives a sly pep talk to the ambitious young; writes about the disconcerting experience of looking at old photos of ourselves; gives us Horatio's real views on Hamlet; and examines the boons and banes of orphanhood. *Bring Back Mom: An Invocation*; explores what life was really like for the "perfect" homemakers of days gone by, and in *The Animals Reject Their Names* she runs history backward, with surprising results.
Chilling and witty, prescient and personal, delectable and tart, *The Tent* is vintage Atwood, enhanced by the author's delightful drawings.
