HTML:<b>A "profound and provocative" reimagining of the Greek legend by the <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling author of <i>Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal</i>? (<i>Daily Mail</i>).</b><br /> <br /> With wit and verve, Whitbread Award–winning novelist Jeanette Winterson brings the mythical figure of Atlas into the space age and sets him free at last. In her retelling of the story of a god tricked into holding the world on his shoulders and his brief reprieve, she sets difficult questions about the nature of choice and coercion, how we choose our own destiny and at the same time can liberate ourselves from our seeming fate.<br /> <br /> "Dazzling . . . Winterson's embrace of the mythic landscape is evident in her rich imagery . . . cathartic . . . this short novel fulfills a number of the criteria myth is meant to embody" —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>.
