Title: Monotonous
Product review: An anthology is probably not the best way to read short stories. In any event, the stories became monotonous after a while (perhaps Margaret Atwood only likes one particular type of short story). A variety of people (usually women) who are very sad, and often otherwise psychologically disfunctional, numbly lament their sadness, dysfunctionality, family, mistakes, etc. Maybe if there had been a few stories that contained something other than elegant writing about depression, then I would have enjoyed the depression stories more. As it was, I could barely finish. The best one was "Edie, A Life."
