Book Review | Vintage Atwood in 7 elegant sketches of family, loss!

Deccan Chronicle  

The appearance of a new Margaret Atwood book is now a global publishing phenomenon. Atwood, who has won the Booker Prize twice, has been called “arguably the most famous living literary novelist in the world” by the Guardian. Old Babes in the Wood, her new collection of stories, is vintage Atwood. It echoes Philp Roth’s famous line: “Old age isn’t a battle; old age is a massacre.” And what then happens to the person left behind? It’s the strangest feeling, or experience, or rearrangement.” Towards the end of these linked stories, Atwood presents a swelling, heartrending tableau of mourning, grief, memory, and loss.
