Margaret Atwood gives us an apocalyptic vision both credible in many ways and a great inventiveness. Under cover of a post-apocalyptic tale, author, presents a satirical ferocious even paint the defects of our present world: drift genetic engineering, security and sectarian abuse. The history and background are exciting, complex characters and writing is surprisingly modern for a writer born in 1939. Rhythm, violence, creativity, everything is as it might propose an author of the new generation. The story is full of finds, between flashbacks and the present issue and if I had a criticism, it would be the imbalance between the two parties. A distorting mirror of our society, a vision of a future baffling and disturbing. Sacred discovery that this book for me. To put all hands, lovers of post-apocalyptic stories or not (for proof, the book is published in a so-called "general literature" collection).
