About This Novel
The fourteen short stories included in this book extensively explore the problems women encounter in their growth from women's experiences and perspectives, including rape, extramarital affairs, obesity, childbirth and other real-life encounters closely related to women. With her extremely original and restrained writing style, Atwood splices together fragments of fantasy, humor and even violence, and uses realism, inner monologue and montage to reveal the complexity of human relationships through her stories, injecting life into her characters that deeply touch readers, evoking fear and laughter, empathy and recognition, and showing the increasingly complex inner world of women in modern society and their disparate moods when facing the external world dominated by men.

Atwood's short stories are indeed not as well written as his long stories, and I am a bit confused. Maybe it's because of my poor understanding.
