- More about Harrow
Harrow is a novel by Margaret Atwood that was shortlisted for the 2022 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction. It follows Khristen, a teenager who travels to a resort on the shores of a mysterious, putrid lake after her boarding school for gifted teens closes its doors. The resort is populated by elderly residents who plot to punish corporations and people they consider culpable in the destruction of nature's beauty. The novel is a tale of paradise lost and the reasons to try and recover something of it.

In her highly anticipated novel, the legendary writer delves into a post-apocalyptic world where only man-made structures hold value, yet some seek to preserve the authentic. After finishing the book, I couldn't help but miss the unsettling darkness that had engulfed me throughout its pages.
This apocalyptic vision is brought to life by a committee of literary luminaries, including DalÃ, Kafka, and Yorgos Lanthimos. The Observer aptly describes it as "the apocalypse as reimagined by a committee headed by DalÃ, Kafka, and Yorgos Lanthimos."
The novel revolves around Khristen, a teenager believed to have been destined for greatness since her brief moment of death and subsequent revival as a baby. When her boarding school for gifted teens closes its doors, Khristen sets out on a journey across a desolate landscape, seeking refuge at a resort on the shores of a mysterious and putrid lake known as "Big Girl."
Within the confines of the decaying resort, the elderly residents plot intricate actions to hold corporations and individuals accountable for the destruction of nature's beauty. The novel is a captivating exploration of paradise lost and the motivations behind seeking to reclaim fragments of it.
Written with Williams' signature searing wit and deadpan humor, "Harrow" is a thrilling tale that will leave readers in awe of its vivid imagery and thought-provoking themes. It is a testament to the enduring power of literature to transport us to new worlds and provoke us to reflect on the human condition.
