Oryx And Crake

By the author of THE HANDMAID'S TALE and ALIAS GRACE

Pigs might not fly but they are strangely altered. So, for that matter, are
wolves and racoons. A man, once named Jimmy, lives in a tree, wrapped in old
bedsheets, now calls himself Snowman. The voice of Oryx, the woman he loved,
teasingly haunts him. And the green-eyed Children of Crake are, for some
reason, his responsibility.

Praise for Oryx and Crake:

'In Jimmy, Atwood has created a great character: a tragic-comic artist of the
future, part buffoon, part Orpheus. An adman who's a sad man; a jealous lover
who's in perpetual mourning; a fantasist who can only remember the past'
