Wilderness Tips (book)

Wilderness Tips (book)

"Wilderness Tips" is a book of short stories by Margaret Atwood. It was first published in 1991 by McClelland and Stewart (ISBN 0-7710-0819-8).

Several of the stories are fictionalized portrayals of Atwood's contemporaries in Canadian literature. The mysterious poet Selena in "Isis in Darkness" is based on Gwendolyn MacEwen, and the journalist Marcia in "Hack Wednesday" is based on June Callwood. One story, "Uncles", prompted a feud between Atwood and Robert Fulford, who claimed to have been the model for the character Percy Marrow.
