Reviews"Margaret Atwood takes risks and wins." --Time "Throughout her literary career...Margaret Atwood has impressed and delighted readers with her wit, lyric virtuosity and imaginative acuity." --San Francisco Chronicle "One of the most intelligent and talented writers to set herself the task of deciphering life in the late twentieth century." --Vogue "Chock-full of startling images, superbly and classically crafted...Kept me in stitches half the time." --Saturday Night "Atwood has the magic of turning the particular and the parochial into the universal." --The Times(London), "Disconcerting, faintly ominous, and moving with the greatest of ease from the expected to the unexpected. . . .

A distinct pleasure to read." -- Kirkus Reviews "Atwood has the magic of turning the particular and the parochial into the universal." -- The Times (London) "Chock-full of startling images, superbly and classically crafted. . . .

SynopsisThe novel that put the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments on the literary map. The Booker Prize winner's first novel is both a scathingly funny satire of consumerism and a heady exploration of emotional cannibalism. Marian McAlpin is an "abnormally normal" young woman, according to her friends. A recent university graduate, she crafts consumer surveys for a market research firm, maintains an uneasy truce between her flighty roommate and their prudish landlady, and goes to parties with her solidly dependable boyfriend, Peter. But after Peter proposes marriage, things take a strange turn. Suddenly empathizing with the steak in a restaurant, Marian finds she is unable to eat meat. As the days go by, her feeling of solidarity extends to other categories of food, until there is almost nothing left that she can bring herself to consume. Those around her fail to notice Marian's growing alienation--until it culminates in an act of resistance that is as startling as it is imaginative. Marked by blazingly surreal humor and a colorful cast of eccentric characters, The Edible Woman is a groundbreaking work of fiction., The novel that put the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale on the literary map Margaret Atwood's first novel is both a scathingly funny satire of consumerism and a heady exploration of emotional cannibalism.
