    Margaret Atwood is acknowledged as one of the foremost writers of our time. In Moral Disorder, she has created a series of interconnected stories that trace the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it, those of parents, of siblings, of children, of friends, of enemies, of teachers, and even of animals. As in a photograph album, time is measured in sharp, clearly observed moments.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Moral Disorder and Other Stories to be better than the print version?

    I think they're both good, but Susan Denaker does a fantastic job of bringing the narrator of these stories to life.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Moral Disorder and Other Stories?

    The poignancy of the narrator's interaction with her parents, particularly in The Labrador Fiasco, is particularly memorable, perhaps because it seems to be an issue that many people may be facing when caring for aging parents. The final words of this chapter seem to be both heartbreaking and reassuring. She is there for her father, but there's still a certain amount of fear in his demeanor that is difficult to overcome.


    If you could take any character from Moral Disorder and Other Stories out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    Of course, it would be the author, who seems to have some very autobiographical elements in her writing. I would love to open a bottle of wine with Margaret Atwood and ask her how she manages to write such realistic characters.


    Any additional comments?

    This is a fantastic book and a wonderful rendition as an audiobook. I greatly enjoyed it!
