""Here are brilliantly rendered stories that explore themes of loss and discovery, of the gap between youthful dreams and mature reality, of how we connect with others and with the sometimes hidden parts of ourselves. In each of these tales Margaret Atwood deftly illuminates the single instant that shapes a whole life: in a few brief pages we watch as characters progress from the vulnerabilities of adolescence through the passions of youth into the precarious complexities of middle age. By superimposing the past on the present Atwood paints interior landscapes shaped by time, regret, and life's lost chances, endowing even the banal with a sense of mystery. Richly layered and disturbing, poignant of times and scathingly witty at others, the stories in 'Wilderness Tips' takes us into the strange and secret places of the heart and inform the familiar world in which we life with truths that cut to the bone.""@en

"Dix nouvelles, du Canada urbain à celui des grandes étendues sauvages, de fouilles archéologiques en Ecosse aux bureaux d'un journal à la mode, d'une disparition en montagne au microcosme d'une colonie de vacances, d'une traîtrise amicale à une exquise vengeance amoureuse...--[Memento]."
