Dancing Girls and Other StoriesPregnant women, students and journalists; farmers, birdwatchers, ex-wives, adolescent lovers - and dancing girls. All ordinary people - or are they? Margaret Atwood's distinctive wit and incisive observation of the strangeness of everyday life makes this a delighfully absorbing collection of stories. She portrays each drama with tremendous agility that seems effortless, and makes it impossible to stop at the end of one story without dipping into the next. |
