Summary/Abstract Carried Away is a dazzling selection of stories-seventeen favorites chosen by the author from across her distinguished career. With an Introduction by Margaret Atwood. The stories brought together here span a quarter century, drawn from some of her earliest books, The Beggar Maid and The Moons of Jupiter, through her recent best-selling collection, Runaway. Munro's incomparable empathy for her characters, the depth of her understanding of human nature, and the grace and surprise of her narrative add up to a richly layered and capacious fiction.

Fine balance / Mistry, Rohinton 2006  Book
Mistry, Rohinton Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Faber and Faber Limited, 2006.
Description 614pBrown spine
Summary/Abstract A portrait of India featuring four characters. Two are tailors who are forcibly sterilized, one is a student who emigrates, and the fourth is a widowed seamstress who decides to hang on. A tale of cruelty, political thuggery and despair by a master blender of the picaresque and the tragic. To say he captures the textures of Indiawell and creates larger-than-life characters is to make light of his achievement.

Moral disorder / Atwood, Margaret 2007  Book
Atwood, Margaret Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Virago Press, 2007.
Description 260pPale green spine
Summary/Abstract "Moral Disorder" could be seen as a collection of eleven stories that is almost a novel ... or a novel broken up into eleven stories. It resembles a photograph album - a series of clearly observed moments that trace the course of a life, and the lives intertwined with it - those of parents, siblings, children, friends, enemies, teachers and even animals. And as in a photograph album, times change; every decade is here, from the 1930s through the 50s, 60s and 70s to the present day. The settings are equally varied: large cities, suburbs, farms, northern forests; that all go into making the kaleidoscope of imagination.
Contents The bad news The art of cooking and serving The headless horseman My last Duchess The other place Monopoly Moral disorder White horse The entities The labrador fiasco The boys at the lab
