Review title: Just Kidding
Product review: The Plot:Jimmy, a man living in a post-apocalyptic world (and who now calls himself 'Snowman'), creates an accidental gospel for a new race of homo sapien like creatures, while tormented by dreams of his childhood, visions of his disappeared mother, and apparitions of a former lover.Atwood's Take:In an interview about this book, Atwood remarked that scientists and novelist are driven by the same question: what if? I am not certain that all novelists would agree with that statement, but it certainly drives this novel. For Atwood, God and science are interchangeable; one happens to be a three letter word, the other a seven letter word- makes no difference.My Take:The sister and daughter of scientists, Atwood's "gallows humor" is the main character in this book. She is lying to us. Will you laugh at her joke? Or will you take her tragic nightmare seriously? Or will you do both?I recommend this book.
