Days of Awe

Jeanette Winterson, Jay McInerney, Gary Shteyngart, Meg Wolitzer, Lionel Shriver, and Tessa Hadley praise Margaret Atwood's Days of Awe for its breathtakingly accurate satire and laser-cut portraits of American life. The book explores our attachments to each other through characters who aren't quite who they hoped to become, and is a visionary, fearless, and outrageously funny work from a master storyteller.
