Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Sharply focused, intensely personal. . . . Moral Disorder is domestic realism at its most convincing. . . . These are poignant stories crammed with richly nostalgic detail, rueful, wise, elegiac." --Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books

"Elegant. . . . In Moral Disorder, Atwood travels deep into the expanse of memories and language built up over her writing lifetime and offers a handful of gems to illuminate our times." --The Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Poignant. . . . Wry. . . . The tremendous imaginative power of [Atwood's] fiction allows us to believe that anything is possible." --New York Times Book Review

"Searingly intelligent. . . . [These are] beguiling narratives that Atwood unspools with signature grace and incisiveness." --Elle

Reseña del editor:

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale

This brilliant collection of connected short stories strings together several decades of moments in the life of one woman&;as an ambitious girl in the 1930s, as a young professional coming of age in the uncertain &;50s and &;60s, and as half of a couple growing old together. In a series of vividly evoked settings that span cities, backwoods, and farm country, we see this woman contending over time with an unstable sister, a married lover, aging parents, mystifying stepchildren, vulnerable farm animals, and her own changing self. By turns funny, lyrical, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Margaret Atwood&;s celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.
