Margaret Atwood is the author of over forty works of fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. The Handmaid's Tale is one of my favorite books of all time, so I was excited to read her latest collection of short stories, Stone Mattress. The nine tales in this collection are meditations on aging, love, and death. They made me realize how thinly drawn most portraits of older people are in literature and popular culture.
Stone Mattress was one of the best books that I have read this summer. It challenged me and made me laugh out loud; read the title story here.
