{"product_id":"book-auta","title":"Moral Disorder","description":"Atwood triumphs with these dazzling, personal stories in her first collection since \u003ci\u003eWilderness Tips\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these ten interrelated stories Atwood traces the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it, while evoking the drama and the humour that colour common experiences — the birth of a baby, divorce and remarriage, old age and death. With settings ranging from Toronto, northern Quebec, and rural Ontario, the stories begin in the present, as a couple no longer young situate themselves in a larger world no longer safe. Then the narrative goes back in time to the forties and moves chronologically forward toward the present. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn “\u003ci\u003eThe Art of Cooking and Serving\u003c\/i\u003e,” the twelve-year-old narrator does her best to accommodate the arrival of a baby sister. After she boldly declares her independence, we follow the narrator into young adulthood and then through a complex relationship. In “The Entities,” the story of two women haunted by the past unfolds. The magnificent last two stories reveal the heartbreaking old age of parents but circle back again to childhood, to complete the cycle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy turns funny, lyrical, incisive, tragic, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, \u003ci\u003eMoral Disorder\u003c\/i\u003e displays Atwood’s celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage. This is vintage Atwood, writing at the height of her powers.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49340315926832,"sku":"BDauta","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/230958-auta-Square.jpg?v=1734042039","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-auta","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
