The Tent is a book by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, published in 2006. Although classified with Atwood’s short fiction, The Tent has been characterized as an “experimental”[1] collection of “fictional essays'[2] or “mini-fictions.”[3] The work also incorporates line drawings by Atwood.
The collection features themes familiar in Atwood’s works, including a feminist portrayal of “national” childhood, the burdens of fame, and the reworking of Classical mythology.
