bluemoosetom 's review for:
Stone Mattress: Nine Tales
by Margaret Atwood
This was an incredibly enjoyable collection of short stories, although generally on the morbid side. That doesn't seem to be too uncommon with [a:Margaret Atwood|3472|Margaret Atwood|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1282859073p2/3472.jpg].
The first three stories involve the same characters, a fantasy author, her former 60s beau who became a well regarded poet, and another woman who completed the unhappy love triangle. These stories really complemented and enriched each other, although each of them was self-sufficient.
There was also a great reprise of the characters from [b:The Robber Bride|17650|The Robber Bride|Margaret Atwood|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388263287l/17650._SY75_.jpg|1119196]: Charis, Roz, Tony, and Zenia.
Several of the stories involved writers, but it never was unwelcome. Great collection of newer work from one of my favorite authors. Also, a fair share of untranslated Latin makes its way into the collection, showing how rusty my skills have become.
Gave away a copy for the Short Story Book Club holiday book exchange 12/17/23. Hopefully Alexa likes it as much as I did.
