Book description
These wise and witty writings home in on Shakespeare, tree stumps,
ecological disasters, bodies (male and female), and theology, amongst
other matters. We hear Gertrude's version of what really happened in
Hamlet; an ugly sister and a wicked stepmother put in a good word for
themselves,and a reincarnated bat explains how Bram Stoker got Dracula
hopelessly wrong. Good Bones is pure distilled Atwood - deliciously
strong and bittersweet. * 'A marvellous miniature sample case of
Atwood's sensuous and sardonic talents' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
