Its worth recalling that the first US Hardback edition of 'Fahrenheit 451' was a limited 200
copy edition, bound in asbestos.

Is that a new novel of prostitution in the world of "The Handmaid's

Because Ted Nolan is mentioned in the thanks to, I suspect mermaids are
involved.

But her “Oryx and Crake” series is pretty good. It is about the coming
genetic modification of everything, including humans. The pigs with
human brain DNA bothered me the most. I have been treed by a hundred
javelinas while hunting, I would hate to mess with them if they actually
had intelligence. I shot one of the javelinas with my .308, the rest of
them did not care. A hundred javelinas and five rounds in my gun is a
very bad match. I now carry a pistol when hunting also.

Not sure where my name comes into things...

But, as for the mermaids, they do have "The World by the Tail"

From the sound of things a few grenades might be in order. And the
155s on call.

Shouldn't that be /A Handmaids Tale/?

I didn't notice any tails on the handmaids in the movie ...

Nah, just a typo.

But could it be a Freudian slip, based on conflating the book with the
movie "An American Tail", about mice emigrating to the U.S. which seems
to have been based on the experience of Jewish immigrants from Eastern
Europe in the 1900s?

I'm pretty sure the only Atwood you will read are her four Perry Rhodan novels.

That's the kind way to look at it.

My guess is rampant senility.

I see she has another book out, essays from 2004-2021 -
_Burning Questions_ Hmm.

I'd think _The Handmaid's Tale_ would be right up Lynne's apocalyptic
fiction alley.

It does have some similarities to RAH's _If This Goes On_.

That's reserved for the feral hogs. Both will chase you up a tree but
then the ferals will eat the tree to get to you.

I have always had the feral pigs run away from me, even in packs of 30
to 35. They are fairly smart. The javelina pigs are stupid, travel in
huge packs of a 100 or more, and always chase you.
