Bluebeard's Egg

Canadian first edition (1983) published in Toronto by McClelland & Stewart

Bluebeard’s Egg is a collection of short stories by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, first published in 1983. The book's first American edition was released in 1986 under the name Bluebeard's Egg and other stories.[1]

Synopsis

In this collection, Atwood explores the politics of sex and heterosexual relationships, examining the emotions, betrayals, and casualties of such relationships. Four of the stories in the collection depart from this theme to instead present presumably autobiographic ruminations on the narrator’s childhood influences. The majority of these stories are set in downtown Toronto.[2]
