Margaret Atwood

"Ways of Telling isn't like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the war at the door? It is its own thing."-Margaret Atwood"Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Ways of Telling knocked the breath out of me. It's dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision." -Olivia LaingFrom the author of the UK bestseller Bertie, May & Mrs Fish comes an extraordinary new collection of unforgettable stories.
As a bystander at Princess Diana's funeral, a fan at a James Brown concert, a passenger on a Welsh bus and a patient in a hectic hospital, Xandra Bingley's vivid portraits of everyday experience remind us of the fleeting and mysterious transience of life."A sharp, wise and knowing eye, combined with a rare delicacy of prose - this is unlike anything else you will have read. An absolute treat." - Andrew Marr
