Reviews
"Ingenious and disturbing.… A landmark work of speculative fiction, comparable to A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World.… Atwood has surpassed herself." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Rigorous in its chilling insights and riveting in its fast-paced 'what if' dramatization, Atwood's superb novel is as brilliantly provocative as it is profoundly engaging." Booklist (starred review) "Oryx and Crake is Atwood at her playful, allegorical best." Globe and Mail "[Oryx and Crake is written] with a style and grace that demonstrate again just how masterful a storyteller she is. If one measure of art's power is its ability to force you to face what you would very much rather not, Oryx and Crake the evocative tale of a nightmarish near-future is an extraordinary work of art, one that reaffirms Atwood's place at the apex of Canadian literature." Maclean's "Atwood's new masterpiece.…Extraordinary.… [Atwood pulls] back the curtain on her terrible vision with such tantalizing precision, its fearsome implications don't fully reveal themselves until the final pages.… A darkly comic work of speculative fiction." W Magazine (U.S.) "For all its artistic achievement, this novel poses serious questions.… Margaret Atwood is a consummate artist, yes, but her work also pricks our social and ethical consciousness. That is a rare combination, an important achievement.…" Globe and Mail "Atwood's great talent for narrative has never been displayed to better effect." Toronto Star "Riveting.…Chesterton once wrote of the 'thousand romances that lie secreted in The Origin of Species.' Atwood has extracted one of the most hair-raising of them, and one of the most brilliant." Publishers Weekly "Oryx and Crake is Atwood at her best dark, dry, scabrously witty, yet moving and studded with flashes of pure poetry. Her gloriously inventive brave new world is all the more chilling because of the mirror it holds up to our own. Citizens, be warned." The Independent (U.K.) "Oryx and Crake can hold its own against any of the 20th century's most potent dystopias Brave New World, 1984, The Space Merchants with regard to both dramatic impact and fertility of invention.…Oryx and Crake showcases a nightmare version of the present era of globalization on a globe coming apart at its ecological seams.… It is a scathing (because bang-on) portrait of the way we live now.…Majestic.…" Washington Post "Is there a more accomplished or versatile writer, in Canada, than Margaret Atwood?… Atwood is on top of the times intuits them, really.… The moral questions of Oryx and Crake are already in play." National Post (profile) "Oryx and Crake is a broad canvas that allows Atwood to show off her brilliant talent for satire and wordplay, as well as her considerable love and knowledge of the natural world." Quill & Quire "Wonderfully vivid, and the sardonic unveiling of future history makes for a strong narrative drive."
