Bluebeard's Egg and Other Stories — Margaret Atwood

A woman remembers her mother's favorite stories, the vignettes of family life that reveal parent to child...A potter tries to come to terms with the group of poets who live with her,
idolize her, and infuriate her...A political activist feels a great bond with his kidnapped cat...A girl agrees to go on a perilous raft trip because the invitation flatters her; makes her feel much braver than she knows she is....

These are just a few of the people and moments in this magnificent new collection of short stories by the incomparable Margaret Atwood, whose bestselling, award-winning novel, THE HANDMAID'S TALE, marked her place as one of today's very best writers. This collection will only enhance that well-deserved reputation.
