Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Margaret Atwood's latest brilliant collection of short stories follows the life of a single character, seen as a girl growing up the 1930s, a young woman in the 50s and 60s, and, in the present day, half of a couple, no longer young, reflecting on the new state of the world. Each story focuses on the ways 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 unmistakable style to their best advantage. Review:"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 Review:"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 Review:"Searingly intelligent....[These are] beguiling narratives that Atwood unspools with signature grace and incisiveness." Elle Review:" Synopsis:In these ten interrelated stories, Atwood traces the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it. By turns funny, tragic, earthy, and deeply personal, "Moral Disorder" displays Atwoods celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.
