Moral Disorder and Other Stories – Audiobook Online Free
Moral Disorder and Other Stories is a literary fiction book by author Margaret Atwood.
Margaret Atwood is recognized as one of the leading writers of our time. She has created a series of interconnected stories that follow the course of a lifetime. Life is associated with it, of parents, siblings, children, friends, enemies, teachers and even animals. . As in a photo album, time is measured in clearly and sharply observed moments. The 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and now, all here. Different settings: big city, suburbs, farm, northern forest.
“The Bad News” is set in the present, when a couple who are no longer young find themselves in a vast world that is no longer safe. The story shifts in time as the central character spends her childhood and adolescence in “The Art of Cooking and Serving”, “The Headless Horseman” and “My Last Duchess”. We follow her to adulthood in “The Other Place” and then through a complicated relationship, rooted in four stories: “Monopoly”, “Moral Disorder”, “White Horse” and “The Entities”. The last two stories, “The Labrador Fiasco” and “The Boys at the Lab”, deal with the heartbreaking old age of parents but return to childhood to complete the cycle.
Margaret Attwood has to be the most brilliant writer of our time. Her descriptive brilliance penetrates deep into your soul as her words take wing. Her latest work, Moral Disorder, continues the high standard of her other works such as Cat’s Eye, Blind Assassin, Oryx and Crake. No matter what genre she dips into, the results are astounding.
This book of short stories, are all connected through the lives of the women of one family. They could be read separately, but together each story adds to the family portrait giving the reader a panoramic view of the three central characters of the book- mother and two daughters.
The way Margaret Attwood describes a daughter trying to get through to her aging mother, lost in reverie or some other country in her mind, makes you want to weep. Her prose is exquisite.
I have never ever never been disappointed with a Margaret Attwood piece and this one is no exception.
