It looks like Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace has won out; a scan of the back cover that offers murder and mystery, coupled with my own liking of Atwood’s short stories, and that it has had such rave reviews from anyone who has read it made up my mind.
The bad news is that it is another four hundred-plus pager, so it’s going to take up quite a bit of my time. I don’t think it will require the indepth study such as those by McCarthy or Marquez, so I shall try not to make it an every day blow-by-blow description review, but rather post as I’m taken by the writing which is a sure bet with an Atwood piece.
I’m looking forward to this adventure in reading of both story and author. My immediate problem however is that for some strange reason I have been referring to it as A-LI-as Grace, rather than A-lias. Good thing I don’t use an audio weblog.
