"A book to be read and re-read, to be talked about and savored. . . . Atwood [is] writing at top form, writing with total control of her material, with sureness, with touches of brilliance." –
The London Free Press "This collection . . . attests, again, to Ms. Atwood's range as a writer, her ability to set forth her view of the world . . . in both lyrical, meditative tales and wry, crackly satires. . . . These stories are strewn, like a starry sky, with shimmering images and bright metaphors." –
The New York Times "A startlingly original voice." –
Washington Post Book World "Atwood's prose in
Bluebeard's Egg is powerful, elegant and mellifluous to an extraordinary degree." –
