Summary:
In Payback, Margaret Atwood launches an investigation into the idea of debt as an ancient and central motif in religion and literature, and a major force in the structure of human societies. Through the stories we tell each other, in concepts such as balance, revenge and sin, and in the way we form our social relationships, Atwood shows how the idea of what we owe one another is built into the human imagination.
