Moral Disorder and Other Stories by Margaret Atwood
4.0
This is classic, vintage Margaret Atwood. I loved most of it. A woman's life story. Her relationship with her anxious sister, born when she was 11 years old. Her unconventional relationship with Tig, their time as city folks trying to make a rusty old farm work. Lots of great livestock (or "dead-stock") stories. Her real estate karma. Her step sons, her lover's wife Oona. It only slows down when getting to her aging parents.
My favorite line:
"All that anxiety and anger, those dubious good intentions, those tangled lives, that blood. I can tell about it or I can bury it. In the end, we’ll all become stories. Or else we’ll become entities. Maybe it’s the same."
