Moral Disorder | Margaret Atwood

All in all, it was a good collection of short stories. The more I read of Atwood, the more I appreciate her writing. It took a bit to get into this collection. When I first started it I wasn‘t sure if I really wanted to continue, although by the 5th story I was hooked. Stories 6, 7 & 8 - Monopoly, Moral Disorder, and White Horse were my favourite.

GingerAntics The story of the main character was all disjointed. In the first story she is older, but not quite old yet (she‘s slowing down and comments on this.) In the last story her mother is on her death bed and we don‘t hear anything about her boyfriend/husband is. He‘s just not there. In between we see her as a child, as a young adult, and more of her life as an adult. 6y
GingerAntics About half the stories are in 1st person. The others are on 3rd. You suddenly snap into 3rd person with no explanation. I thought maybe it was because she was more mature, but then the last two stories when both of her parents are dying, we‘re inexplicably back on 1st person. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I love Atwood, I‘ve been trying to slowly read through her back catalogue, one or two a year. I haven‘t read this one yet though, but I‘ll definitely add it to my list. Her books are always a challenging, but engaging read. 6y
GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa this one didn‘t come off as challenging as other of her books, maybe because their short stories so they‘re in bite sized chunks? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think there is a lot to analyse, but I tend to do that after I‘ve read the whole thing so it was easier than some of her other books I‘ve read that seem to just have so much you‘re brain is going a mile a minute the whole time, though it was here, too. 6y

I think “Monopoly” is my favourite story in this collection so far. It‘s very odd and it‘s forced me to think a lot. The relationship between Tig, Nell and Oona is very interesting, because it‘s really the three of them in this relationship, isn‘t it?
This is also the first story to be in 3rd person. The rest have been in 1st. It may be a sign of the MC‘s maturation...?
