A.S. Byatt's latest book. This great British author, winner of the Booker Prize for Possession, combines intellect, erudition, and psychological penetration with a keen delight in storytelling.
From "Body Art," one of the stories in this new volume:
"Life runs in very narrow stereotyped channels, until it is interrupted by accidents or visions."
"I think there are things that are real - more real than we are - but mostly we don't cross their paths, or they don't cross ours."
I agree completely with Byatt's view of the world, which is why I just bought the book.
