Stone Mattress: Nine Tales
by Margaret Atwood
This collection of short stories is woven through with the common threads of sex, aging, death, and poetry. While I dislike poetry and thought the whole thing together was oversexed, it's easy to admit that Atwood is an incredibly talented and gripping writer. While I didn't always like the stories, Atwood had me enthralled, my heart pounding, needing to know what happened next even if the feelings I was having were not the feelings I wanted. I would definitely recommend this for lovers of short fiction, poetry, and unsettling yet marvelously written tales.
