Good Bones
Good Bones | Margaret Atwood
6 posts | 11 read | 9 to read
In Good Bones, first published in 1992, Margaret Atwood has fashioned an enthralling collection of parable, monologue, mini-romance and mini-biography, speculative fiction, prose lyric, outrageous recipe and reconfigured fairy tale, demonstrating yet again the play of an unerring wit overseen by a panoramic intelligence. Good Bones is a cornucopia of good things precise, witty, wise, and sometimes offbeat Atwood writing, with the funny and the sidelong view of the world which her readers recognize at once.

I read The Handmaid‘s Tale for my bookclub and was totally fascinated by Margaret Atwood‘s language and how she instantly builds an atmosphere with her words. She does it in a couple of pieces in this collection too. These are the ones I liked best.

27 short pieces.... I though all except one was good and a few totally marvelous. Atwood's trademark dry wit, sardonic humour and inventive imagination are fully on display.

Well you can't really see all the notes attached to everything, but they're wonderful!! Thank you so much @UwannaPublishme !! You sent such a generous & thoughtful & fun surprise package!! I can't wait to try the cool candies & the book tracker is perfect! The bookmark is so cute, & the stuffy has already been taken by buggy 😁 I'm excited to check out the books -- I'd never even heard of that one by Atwood! Thank you!!! ♥️🥰♥️ Merry Christmas! 🎄

MemoirsForMe So glad you (and Buggy!) are enjoying the bookish goodies and holiday treats. I had a feeling when I saw the Atwood book that it would be something you‘d like. I haven‘t read it, so you‘ll have to let me know. 😊 Hope you and your family have the Merriest Christmas! 🤗❤️🎄🎅🏻 6y
