After reading a short story of Margaret Atwood's entitled Death by Landscape in my popular Canadian literature class last semester I was itching to read some more. I started by requesting Wilderness Tips from the library, the collection of short stories in which Death by Landscape can be found. While patiently awaiting its arrival at my local branch I took a trip to see what was on the shelf, low and behold I stumbled upon The Labrador Fiasco and Good Bones and Simple Murders. Needless to say I was sufficiently occupied until my request was ready to be picked up.
Atwood is one of my favourite authors, especially of her dystopic fiction like Oryx and Crake. I find her writing to be fluid and to the point yet immersed with great detail. It was neat seeing how her short story writing differs from her novel writing.
