Review
Five new stories from the author of Possession, A Whistling Woman, Angels and Insects and many other celebrated novels. The word 'black' in the title draws attention not just to an attractive feature of the cover design (austere black books stand out well in a display with all their gaudy display of competing designs), but also to a darkening of thematic tone, a lowering of the lights, as Byatt places her characters in a dark wood, has them argue about death and body parts, and introduces a particularly unforgettable evening class. A new collection from one of our most distinguished writers and critics. A major event, of course, and the literary world will sit up and take notice.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A.S. Byatt's short stories never fail to delight - but this new collection brings shivers as well as magical thrills. Leaves rustle underfoot in a dark wood- two middle aged women walk into a forest, as they did when they were gorls, confronting theor childhood fears and memories and the strange thing they saw - so long ago. A distinguished male obstetrician and a young woman artist meet in a hospital- but both of them have very different ideas about body parts, birth and death. An innocent member of an evening class turns out to have her own decided views on how to use 'raw material' . The five stories in this marvellous collection are by turns funny, spooky, sparkling, sad and utterly unforgettable. The Little Black Book holds its secrets, and they will linger in your mond forever. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001338830
