1. How does the friendship between Amanda and Ren grow, despite their differences and the restrictions they face? They meet as children. Who was your greatest ally when you were that age? What do you think of Ren's treatment of Bernice? 2. What survival skills do the novel's female characters possess? Do they find security or vulnerability at Scales and Tales, the AnooYoo Spa, and within the community of Gardeners? What strength does Pilar find in nature, while Lucerne is drawn to artificial beauty? 3. How do Adam One's motivations compare to Zeb's? In their world, what advantages do men have? Are they really "advantages"? 4. Discuss Toby's parents and their fate. What does their story illustrate about the dangers of an unregulated and corrupt drug industry? What motivates Toby to become a healer? 5. How does Adam One's explanation of creation and the fall of humanity compare to more standard Judeo-Christian ideas? What does he offer his followers, beyond an understanding of the planet and the creatures that inhabit it? 6. Discuss the father figures in Ren's life: her stepfather, Zeb; her biological father, Frank; and eventually Mordis. What did they teach her about being a woman? How did they shape her expectations of Jimmy? 7. As a refugee from Texas, Amanda is an outsider, facing constant risk. Would you have harbored her? Why is Ren so impressed by her? 8. What is the result of a penal system like Painball? How does it influence the citizens' attitude toward crime? 9. Should Toby have honored Pilar's deathbed wish that she become an Eve? How did the lessons in beekeeping serve Toby in other ways as well? 10. Crake's BlyssPlus pill offers many false promises. What are they, and what was Crake really striving for (chapter 73)? If human beings are the greatest problem for the natural world, could they also provide solutions less drastic than Crake's? How? 11. In what ways do the novel's three voices-Toby's, Ren's, and Adam One's-complement one another? What unique perspective is offered in each narration? 12. Explore the lyrics from The God's Gardeners Oral Hymnbook.What do they say about the Gardener theology and the nature of their faith? Adam One does not always tell the truth to his congregation. Is well-meant lying ever acceptable? 13. Margaret Atwood's fiction often displays "gallows humor." Can a thing be dire and funny at the same time? Must we laugh or die? 14. The Year of the Floodcovers the same time period as Oryx and Crake, and contains a number of the same characters - ("Snowman," a student at the Martha Graham Academy and "the last man on earth") and Glenn ("Crake," who studied at the Watson-Crick Institute), as well as Bernice, Jimmy's hostile college room-mate, Amanda, a live-in artist girlfriend, Ren ("Brenda,") whom he remembers briefly in Oryx and Crakeas a high-school fling, Jimmy's mother, who runs away to become an activist, and the God's Gardeners, whom he mentions as a fringe green cult. Re-read the final pages of both books. What do you predict for the remaining characters? Should the Gardeners execute the Painballers? Why? Why not? Would you? 15. What parallels did you see between The Year of the Floodand current headlines?

Set in the visionary future of Atwood's acclaimed Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood is at once a moving tale of lasting friendship and a landmark work of speculative fiction. In this second book of the Madd Addam trilogy, the long-feared waterless flood has occurred, altering Earth as we know it and obliterating most human life. Among the survivors are Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, who is barricaded inside a luxurious spa. Amid shadowy, corrupt ruling powers and new, gene-spliced life forms, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move, but they can't stay locked away.

"A gripping and visceral book that showcases the pure storytelling talents she displayed with such verve in her 2000 novel,The Blind Assassin." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Atwood is funny and clever, such a good writer and real thinker.... As ever with Atwood, it is friendship between women that is noted and celebrated - friendship not without its jealousies but friendship that survives rivalry and disappointment, and has a generosity that at the end of the novel allows for hope.... We don't know how [human nature] will evolve, or if we will evolve at all.The Year of the Floodisn't prophecy, but it is eerily plausible." -Jeanette Winterson,The New York Time Book Review "Canada's greatest living novelist undoubtedly knows how to tell a gripping story, as fans ofThe Blind AssassinandA Handmaid's Talealready know. But here there's a serious message too: Look at what we're doing right now to our world, to nature, to ourselves. If this goes on..." -The Washington Post "Atwood unflinchingly holds aloft the sanctity of life - for all species - and the human quest for love." -Chicago Sun-Times "[The Year of the Flood] shows the Nobel Prize-worthy Atwood hellip; at the pinnacle of her prodigious creative powers. Her weigh-in on the breakdown of the social covenant comes during a time of historic global change that her story eerily both mirrors and foretells." -Elle Magazine "Profoundly imagined. . . . This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "Atwood orchestrates her narratives into a heart-pounding, mysterious and surprisingly touching finale. She enchants us so convincingly that after her spell is over, the 'real' world seems temporarily transformed.The Year of the Floodis both a warning and a gift." -NPR.org "Prodigiously imaginative and outrageously funny." -The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) "This is a work that amuses, informs, enlightens and, remarkably, also challenges its readers to be better persons." -San Antonio Express-News "Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." -Booklist, starred review "Iconic Canadian author Margaret Atwood has once again written about a distressingly near future in which mass murder may be the best way to save the world." -Ms. Magazine "Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." -Kirkus Reviews Praise for Oryx and Crake: "Oyrx and Crake is a cautionary tale about humanity swept downriver on a raft." -Mel Gussow, New York Times "The novel's tantalizing questions will have readers turning the pages of this extraordinary book as fast as humanly possible. . . . Like Orwell and Huxley before her, Atwood takes the world as we know it and suggests scenarios both frightening and all-too-probable . . . "Brilliant, provocative, sumptuous and downright terrifying, Oryx and Crake is a sharp-edged down-and-dirty page-turner with a deftly wrought message in Atwood's smart electric language." -Victoria Brownworth, Baltimore Sun "A dystopian novel is not intended as a literal forecast, or even necessarily as a logical extension of our current world. It is simply, and not so simply, a bad dream of our present time, an exquisitel

작가정보
저자(글) Margaret Atwood
1939년 11월 18일 캐나다 출생. '고양이 눈'의 주인공 일레인처럼 애트우드는 어린 시절 곤충학자인 아버지를 따라 매년 봄이면 북쪽 황야로 갔다가 가을에는 다시 도시로 돌아오곤 했다. 고등학교 진학 후 시인이 되기로 결심한 애트우드는 토론토 대학과 하버드 대학에서 영문학을 공부했다. 스물한 살에 첫 시집 '서클 게임'을 출간하였으며 이 시집으로 캐나다 총리상을 수상했다. 이후 그녀의 이름을 알린 장편소설 '떠오름'을 비롯하여 수많은 소설과 시를 발표하며 20세기 캐나다를 대표하는 여성작가로 추앙받고 있다. 순수 문학뿐만 아니라 평론, 드라마 극본, 동화 등 다방면에 걸쳐 활발한 창작활동을 하고 있다. 애트우드는 권위적이고 지배적인 남성 중심 사회에 대한 재치있는 환상소설을 써 내며 캐나다 최초의 페미니즘 작가로 평가 받았다. 하지만 캐나다와 캐나다인의 정체성, 미국을 비롯한 유럽 국가들과의 외교 관계, 환경문제, 인권문제, 현대예술등의 다양한 주제도 폭넓게 다루고 있다. 대표작으로는 '고양이눈' 외에 장편소설 '신탁여인'(1976), '시녀이야기'(1985), '오릭스와 크레이크'(2005) 등이 있으며 2000년에 '눈먼 살인자'로 부커상을 받았다.
