ATWOOD MARGARET OLD BABES IN THE WOOD

Atwood's first new fiction publication since The Testaments   this deeply personal collection
includes a stunning sequence that follows a married couple as they travel the road together 
the moments big and small that make up a long life of love -- and what comes after   The
stories explore the full warp and weft of experience  from two best friends disagreeing about
their shared past  to the right way to stop someone from choking  from a daughter determining
if her mother really is a witch  to what to do with inherited relics such as World War II
parade swords.  They feature beloved cats  a confused snail  Martha Gellhorn  George Orwell 
philosopher-astronomer-mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria  a cabal of elderly female academics
and an alien tasked with retelling human fairy tales.  The glorious range of Atwood's
creativity and humanity is on full beam in these tales  which by turns delight  illuminate and
quietly devastate.   'Gripping... a writer in full possession of her powers' Financial Times  
'These reflections on marriage  mortality and many-tentacled aliens show Atwood's mastery of
the short form' Guardian    'She's Margaret Atwood  and she can do anything' Ann Patchett 
'There is no greater living writer' Daily Telegraph   'The outstanding novelist of our age'
Sunday Times   'A living legend' New York Times Book Review
