Lady Oracle
A Contemporary, Canada, Cultural book. A man in a cloud, with icicle teeth and eyes of fire....

She takes off overnight as Canada's new superpoet, pens lurid gothics on the sly, attracts a blackmailing reporter, skids cheerfully in and out of menacing plots, hair-raising traps, and passionate trysts, and lands dead and well in Terremoto, Italy. In this remarkable, poetic, and magical novel, Margaret Atwood proves yet again why she is considered to be one of the most important and accomplished writers of our time.

It's kind of like reading a romance novel, only a lot more with the intentional funny. What would make someone fake their own death?
