Oryx and Crake: The General Public’s Reception
Atwood – Author, Canadian, won every major literary award, feminist,
Oryx and Crake – praised by technical aspects of genetics
- good bc flashbacks between Jimmy and Snowman
- “cast of memorable characters”
Negative Reception
- New York Times: calls Sci-Fi, not enjoy Jimmy or other characters bc does not flow with the “intelligence of the plot” and writing.
- Kakutani of New York Times – like Jimmy but does not like a world of Oryx and Crate, not realistic
Conclusion – polarize reviews
Jimmy – pleasure through suffering micro level, but mimics culture on macro level
Jimmy – word smith, quotes a lot,
*sorry, I forgot to publish.
