Reviews"Dazzling." -- The New York Times "Atwood's writing is assured, her focus clear and her humor ample." -- People "Atwood's voice, honed after years of writing such books as Lady Oracle and The Handmaid's Tale , is sharper than ever, but still funny...it whispers that the wilderness is right here, right now." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Each of the stories in Wilderness Tips is a gem, a glittering piece to which one is drawn again and again. To read them is to enter a startling world: strange and too close for comfort." -- Denver Post, "Dazzling." -- The New York Times "Atwood's writing is assured, her focus clear and her humor ample." -- People "Atwood's voice, honed after years of writing such books as Lady Oracle and The Handmaid's Tale , is sharper than ever, but still funny...it whispers that the wilderness is right here, right now." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Each of the stories in Wilderness Tips is a gem, a glittering piece to which one is drawn again and again.

SynopsisThe bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments "uses her powerful gifts of language and observation to delineate both the misunderstandings between men and women and the everyday sadnesses and comforts of love" ( The New York Times). In each of these stories Atwood deftly illuminates the shape of a whole life: in a few brief pages we watch as characters progress from the vulnerabilities of adolescence through the passions of youth into the precarious complexities of middle age. The past resurfaces in the present in ways both subtle and dramatic: the body of a lost Arctic explorer emerges from the ice, a 2,000-year-old bog man turns up in an archeological dig, a man with dark secrets marries his lover's sister, a girl who disappears on a canoe trip haunts her friend many decades later. The richly layered stories in Wilderness Tips map interior landscapes shaped by time, regret, and lost chances, endowing even the most unassuming of lives with a disquieting intensity., From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale In each of these tales Margaret Atwood deftly illuminates the shape of a whole life: in a few brief pages we watch as characters progress from the vulnerabilities of adolescence through the passions of youth into the precarious complexities of middle age.
