Good Bones and Simple Murders

Margaret Atwood
3.87/5 (2956 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
In this collection of short works that defy easy categorization, Margaret Atwood displays the trademark wit and virtuosity of her brilliant novels, stories, and poetry. Gertrude offers Hamlet a piece of her mind; we discover the truth about the Little Red Hen; a reincarnated bat explains how Bram Stoker got "Dracula" all wrong; and Atwood reveals the five methods of making a man (such as the "Traditional Method": "Take some dust off the ground. Form. Breathe into the nostrils the breath of life. Simple, but effective!") There are parables, monologues, prose poems, condensed science fiction, reconfigured fairy tales, and other miniature masterpieces--punctuated with charming illustrations by the author. A must for her fans, and a wonderful gift for all who savor the art of exquisite prose, Good Bones And Simple Murders marks the first time these writings have been available in a trade edition in the US. "[Margaret Atwood] proves she is an accomplished miniaturist...She can pack more wallop into less space than any other writer in her weight class." Toronto Globe And Mail
