Stone Mattress – Free Full Audiobook
Stone Mattress is a literary fiction book by author Margaret Atwood.
A collection of imaginative short passages that speak of our times with deadly precision. The creativity, intelligence and humor of classic Atwood: think AliasGrace.
Margaret Atwood turned to the short story genre for the first time since her 2006 collection, Moral Disorder, with nine stories of deep psychological insight and turbulent relationships reminiscent of Her 1996 award-winning novel, Alias Grace. A newly widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband in “Alphinland,” the first of three loosely linked tales of romantic geometry. of a group of writers and artists. In “The Frozen Groom”, a man who participated in a storage space auction bid and was met with a surprise. In “Lusus Naturae”, a woman born with a genetic defect is mistaken for a vampire. In “Torching the Dusties,” an elderly woman with Charles Bonnet syndrome comes face to face with the little people she still meets, while a newly formed populist group gathers to set fire to her retirement residence. that. And in “The Stone Mattress,” an age-old crime is avenged in the Arctic through 1.9 billion-year-old stromatolite. In these nine stories, Margaret Atwood is the head of her dark serious and humorous game.
Margaret Arrwood has done it again, crafting elegant and precise prose that evokes lives and plots that are utterly compelling but still poke fun at some of the memes of our time. I like them all, and ‘Dead Hands Love You’ is my favorite, tells a great story and also sends to the world of literature and the essentials of book sales. The title story deals with sea voyages – but just grab this book and enjoy them for yourself.
I enjoyed this book on my Kindle – reading the stories interspersed with other things. I almost forgot to finish it! Themes of revenge, aging and death. Very funny and insightful too. Sometimes it almost reaches the point of absurdity: playfulness. She writes at a literary level that is conversational but profound. Each story is a miniature masterpiece in eliciting insight into their personalities, dilemmas in their lives. I enjoy all the surprising twists and ingenious ‘takes’ on topics you would think have been covered. Here they are fresh and interesting!
