Welcome to Litsy!

First published in 1983, the sharp satire in this collection of prose poems certainly stands the test of time. Our world is still divided into bad guys and good guys, and literature by women still doesn‘t get the same respect as literature by men. Margaret Atwood‘s poetry/flash fiction is playful and thought-provoking at the same time. #CanadianAuthor

I like to read novels in which the heroine has a costume rustling discreetly over her breasts, or discreet breasts rustling under her costume; in any case there must be a costume, some breasts, some rustling, and, over all, discretion. Discretion over all, like a fog, a miasma through which outlines of things appear only vaguely.

Atwood is a master tease with her artful language. Enjoyed these entertaining chapters, brief but poignantly crafted.

This made me chuckle in the bus. Lol
I must read this super short story (?) to my children.
