| Found in | Atwood, Margaret. Oryx und Crake, 2017. Wikipedia, November 10, 2019 (Oryx and Crake is a 2003 novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. She has described the novel as speculative fiction and adventure romance, rather than pure science fiction, because it does not deal with things "we can't yet do or begin to do", yet goes beyond the amount of realism she associates with the novel form; was shortlisted for the 2003 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, as well as for the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction; novel focuses on a post-apocalyptic character called "Snowman", living near a group of primitive human-like creatures whom he calls Crakers; Atwood started writing the novel in 2001; finished the novel for release in 2003; sequel: The Year of the Flood) |
