{"product_id":"9781784744519","title":"Burning Questions","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays -- funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient -- which seek answers to Burning Questions such as:\u003cbr\u003e*Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?\u003cbr\u003e*How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating?\u003cbr\u003e*How can we live on our planet?\u003cbr\u003e*Is it true? And is it fair?\u003cbr\u003e*What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?\u003cbr\u003eIn over fifty pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Margaret+Atwood\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eMargaret Atwood\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Margaret Atwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380302725283,"sku":"9781784744519","price":530.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781784744519_08dfd416-560b-49d9-8b12-88546cd56cd6.jpg?v=1776588953","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781784744519","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
