The Labrador Fiasco is a book by Canadian authorMargaret Atwood. It was published in 1996, and incorporates two of Atwood's longstanding interests ofCanadian history and the Canadian wilderness.Labrador refers to the Canadian place rather than thebreed of dog, theCanadian Forces helicopter, theSingapore Nature Reserve, theocean current, theCanadian Coast Guard ship, theCosta Rican district, theFilipino town, or theAmerican politician.
The story contains two stories, one within another. This poses some reading challenges[according to whom?] as a constantly swapping point of view can sometimes[when?] be hard[according to whom?] to follow.[by whom?]
The story also fails to reveal the names of the narrator or other main characters, thus making them mysterious to readers.
