About the book: 2005 / “I planned my death very carefully - unlike life, which, meaninglessly meandering, flowed from one event to another, despite all my pathetic attempts to drive it into at least some direction... The trick is to disappear without a trace, leaving behind only the shadow of a dead body, a phantom, the reality of which no one can doubt. At first I thought that I had succeeded.” Madame Oracle - who is she? A fat red-haired girl whose own mother, whose hopes she allegedly did not live up to, wants to stab to death with a table knife? An author of gothic romance novels hiding under a false name? A mystical poet who spawned an entire cult with her one mysterious work? Or a dangerous leader of a terrorist cell with unclear but far-reaching plans? There is only one way to gather the fragments of many personalities together, to cut the knot of marriages and love affairs... In the romance “Madame Oracle” (1976), the outstanding Canadian writer, Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood again reveals We share all the secrets of the female creative soul. For the first time in Russian.
