Bloomsbury Oryx and Crake
In the beginning, there was chaos... Margaret Atwood's chilling new novel <I>Oryx and Crake</I> moves beyond the futuristic fantasy of her 1985 bestseller <I>The Handmaid's Tale</I> to an even more dystopian world, a world where language--and with it anything beyond the merest semblance of humanity--has almost entirely vanished. <p> Snowman may be the last man on earth, the only survivor of an unnamed apocalypse. Once he was Jimmy, a member of a scientific elite; now he lives in bitter isolation and loneliness, his only pleasure the watching of old films on DVD. His mind moves backwards and forwards through time, from an agonising trawl through memory to relive the events that led up to sudden catastrophe (most significantly the disappearance of his mother and the arrival of his mysterious childhood companions Oryx and Crake, symbols of the fractured society in which Snowman now finds himself, to the horrifying present of genetic engineering run amok. His only witnesses, eager to lap up his testimony, are Crakers, laboratory creatures of varying strengths and abilities, who can offer little comfort. Gradually the reasons behind the disaster begin to unfold as Snowman undertakes a perilous journey to the remains of the bubble-dome complex where the sinister Paradice Project collapsed and near-global devastation began. <p> This, Atwood's 11th novel, confirms her as one of our most contemporary novelists. Darkly humorous and icily prescient, <I>Oryx and Crake</I> shows a writer deeply concerned with the stark moral issues facing the human race, and accords a glimpse of a future that lies all too uneasily within reach. --<I>Catherine Taylor</I>
