Oryx and Crake
Pigs might not fly but they are strangely altered. A man, once named Jimmy, lives in a tree, wrapped in old bedsheets, now calls himself Snowman. So, for that matter, are wolves and racoons.
And the green-eyed Children of Crake are, for some reason, his responsibility. The voice of Oryx, the woman he loved, teasingly haunts him. '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' - Independent 'Gripping and remarkably imagined' - London Review of Books
