اختلال اخلاقی و داستان‌های دیگر

Margaret Atwoods 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 characters life: a womans 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 Atwoods celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage. ϡ쯦랠 Atwood Triumphs With These Dazzling, Personal Stories In Her First Collection Since Wilderness Tips.
