内容简介
Margaret Atwood's latest brilliant collection of short stories follows the life of a single character, seen as a girl growing up the 1930s to a young woman in the 50s and 60s to half of a couple in the present day, no longer young, reflecting on the new state of the world. Each story focuses on the ways that relationships transform a character's life: a woman's complex love for a married man, the grief upon the death of parents and the joy with the birth of children, the realization of what growing old with someone you love really means. By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakeable style to their best advantage.
"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."
-------Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Poignant....Wry....the tremendous imaginative power of [Atwood's] fiction allows us to believe that anything is possible."
--------The New York Times Book Review
"Searchingly intelligent....[These are] beguiling narratives that Atwood unspools with signature grace and incisiveness."
--------Elle
