<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i></b> <p/>This splendid volume of short fiction testifies to Margaret Atwood's bracing honesty and startlingly original voice. In her hands, ordinary people--farmers, birdwatchers, adolescent lovers, elderly neighbors, pregnant women--are anything but ordinary. A poet waylaid by an epic nosebleed; an awkward student trailed by an obtuse stalker; a jaded travel writer stranded on a life raft, finally facing a situation she can't trivialize: these characters touch us deeply, evoking laughter, terror, and compassion. Punctuated by brilliant flashes of fantasy, humor, and occasional violence, <i>Dancing Girls </i>pays tribute to the sheer variety and complexity of human relationships.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sheer wizardry, a rich fusion of the ordinary experience made brilliant by symbol, image, and allusion." --<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Atwood renders visual, aural, and tactile events in such crisp, surprising language that her images crackle off the page." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"A stunning collection. . . . Combine[s] superb control and selectivity with an almost rambunctious vitality." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>Superb control and selectivity, with an almost rambunctious vitality. . . .
