I LOVE Margaret Atwood's novels... Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of her short stories. I don't think it is particularly her fault - I just don't like this kind of slice-of-life narratives. When it comes to short stories, I prefer sci-fi and horror - basically anything with a weird twist to it.
