Chronicle Toward Books The Edible Woman

Marian is determined to be ordinary. She lays her head gently on the shoulder of her serious fiancé and quietly awaits marriage. But she didn't count on an inner rebellion that would rock her stable routine, and her digestion. Marriage à la mode, Marian discovers, is something she literally can't stomach...

The Edible Woman is a funny, engaging novel about emotional cannibalism, men and women, and the desire to be consumed.

Comment On About Books The Edible Woman

Well, Margaret Atwood definitely knows how to write. I almost cannot believe that this was her first novel. It's as if she was born a fully formed writer who knows what she is doing and how she wants to do it. Every word has a meaning. You need to pay attention, otherwise you will miss an important, interesting or simply smart observation or aside. Moreover, it is very funny.Despite having been published in 1969 (and written even earlier) this feels very fresh, although surely things that were

Were you a fan of The Vegetarian by Han Kang? Do you like books that are clever and witty and sharp and tear apart social structures and relationship expectations like there's no tomorrow? Then you must pick up The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood!.I find it hard to believe that this book was written in 1965 before feminism in North America was even a *thing* and published in 1969, Atwood was (and is) so ahead of her time in her thinking! This book is wonderful. It's packed with symbolism and

Right around the time I turned 20, a boyfriend of mine dragged me to a Yes concert. I say dragged not because I have anything against the band, but because I knew only two of their songs, and I was the only girl going.My then-boyfriend and his friends were big Yes fans, and they had rented a limo stocked with booze, and it was a real party scene in that vehicle. Well, it was a real party scene for them, less so for me, the girl who didn't know Yes songs, and the one who was becoming increasingly

On to my quest to read more Margaret Atwood, I hit my first obstacle. I cant say it was a bad book, I enjoyed the character but I did not enjoy the story. Why? Because there wasnt much of it. Instead, this book was a commentary about femininity. I could call it a feminist novel but as Margaret herself says in the foreword of this book she wrote it before the movement even started. Its sad how much of what the character of this book has to deal with in the book is still just as relevant and

4.5*Kill or be killed; consume or be consumed. Bow down and conform to societies expectations or break free from the mould.For an instant she felt them, their identities, almost their substance, pass over her head like a wave. At some time she would be or no, already she was like that too; she was one of them, her body the same, identical, merged with that other flesh that choked the air in the flowered room with its sweet organic scent; she felt suffocated by this thick sargasso-sea of

before Ohhh this book is like my favorite hoodiethreadbare and falling apart but so so soft and comfy, with all those little stains and patches as sweet reminders of long ago. Love love love love this book...after Well yes, I do love this book as much as ever, but I was actually kind of surprised at how different it was from the last time I read it, oh, five or six years ago. Here are some reflections (in list form, because I'm feeling lazy):1. I am still terribly and utterly in love with
