Product Information
BONUS FEATURE: INCLUDES ORIGINAL MUSIC WITH LYRICS COMPOSED BY THE AUTHOR The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power. The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners-a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life-has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible.Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers . . .Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away . . .By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.

Reviews
"Profoundly imagined. . . . This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits." -Publishers Weekly,starred review "Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." -Booklist, starred review "Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." -Kirkus Reviews Praise forOryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crakeis a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow,New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . . Like Orwell and Huxley before her, Atwood takes the world as we know it and suggests scenarios both frightening and all-too-probable . . . "Brilliant, provocative, sumptuous and downright terrifying,Oryx and Crakeis a sharp-edged down-and-dirty page-turner with a deftly wrought message in Atwood's smart electric language." -Victoria Brownworth,Baltimore Sun "A dystopian novel is not intended as a literal forecast, or even necessarily as a logical extension of our current world. It is simply, and not so simply, a bad dream of our present time, an exquisitely designed horror show in which things are changed from what we do know to a dream version of what we don't. . . . Atwood does Orwell one better . . . A "towering and intrepid new novel." -Lorrie Moore,The New Yorker "A landmark work of speculative fiction, comparable toA Clockwork Orange,Brave New World, andWe. Atwood has surpassed herself." -Kirkus Reviews "Chesterton once wrote of the 'thousand romances that lie secreted inThe Origin of Species.' Atwood has extracted one of the most hair-raising of them, and one of the most brilliant. . . . A potential dystopian classic." -Publishers Weekly, PRAISE FOROryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crakeis a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow,New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . .

Atwood has extracted one of the most hair-raising of them, and one of the most brilliant. . . . A potential dystopian classic." -Publishers Weekly, "A gripping and visceral book that showcases the pure storytelling talents she displayed with such verve in her 2000 novel, The Blind Assassin." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "[The Year of the Flood] shows the Nobel Prize-worthy Atwood hellip; at the pinnacle of her prodigious creative powers. Her weigh-in on the breakdown of the social covenant comes during a time of historic global change that her story eerily both mirrors and foretells." -Elle Magazine "Profoundly imagined. . . . This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits." -Publishers Weekly,starred review "Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." -Booklist, starred review "Iconic Canadian author Margaret Atwood has once again written about a distressingly near future in which mass murder may be the best way to save the world." -Ms. Magazine "Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." -Kirkus Reviews Praise forOryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crakeis a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow,New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . .

As ever with Atwood, it is friendship between women that is noted and celebrated - friendship not without its jealousies but friendship that survives rivalry and disappointment, and has a generosity that at the end of the novel allows for hope.... We don't know how [human nature] will evolve, or if we will evolve at all.The Year of the Floodisn't prophecy, but it is eerily plausible." -Jeanette Winterson,The New York Time Book Review "Canada's greatest living novelist undoubtedly knows how to tell a gripping story, as fans ofThe Blind AssassinandA Handmaid's Talealready know. But here there's a serious message too: Look at what we're doing right now to our world, to nature, to ourselves. If this goes on..." -The Washington Post "Atwood unflinchingly holds aloft the sanctity of life - for all species - and the human quest for love." -Chicago Sun-Times "[The Year of the Flood] shows the Nobel Prize-worthy Atwood hellip; at the pinnacle of her prodigious creative powers. Her weigh-in on the breakdown of the social covenant comes during a time of historic global change that her story eerily both mirrors and foretells." -Elle Magazine "Profoundly imagined. . . . This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "Atwood orchestrates her narratives into a heart-pounding, mysterious and surprisingly touching finale. She enchants us so convincingly that after her spell is over, the 'real' world seems temporarily transformed.The Year of the Floodis both a warning and a gift." -NPR.org "Prodigiously imaginative and outrageously funny." -The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) "This is a work that amuses, informs, enlightens and, remarkably, also challenges its readers to be better persons." -San Antonio Express-News "Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." -Booklist, starred review "Iconic Canadian author Margaret Atwood has once again written about a distressingly near future in which mass murder may be the best way to save the world." -Ms. Magazine "Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." -Kirkus Reviews Praise for Oryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crake is a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow, New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . .
