Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Like Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, Isak Dinesen and Angela Carter, A. S. Byatt knows that fairy tales are for grownups. And in this ravishing collection she breathes new life into the form.
Little Black Book of Stories offers shivers along with magical thrills. Leaves rustle underfoot in a dark wood: two middle-aged women, childhood friends reunited by chance, venture into a dark forest where once, many years before, they saw–or thought they saw–something unspeakable. Another woman, recently bereaved, finds herself slowly but surely turning into stone. A coolly rational ob-gyn has his world pushed off-axis by a waiflike art student with her own ideas about the uses of the body. Spellbinding, witty, lovely, terrifying, the Little Black Book of Stories is Byatt at the height of her craft.
Review:
"[O]f all [Byatt's] fictions, it now seems to me that it is the short stories that are most likely to endure....[M]y reaction to these stories is one of joy in their exhilaration, intelligence, boldness and inventiveness, and a sort of irritable impatience....Few other books this year have given me such pleasure as this one."
Amanda Craig, Literary Review, Dec. 2003-Jan. 2004
Review:"It's as if Isak Dinesen had magically reappeared, to give us one more unclassifiable baroque masterpiece. Byatt has never written better than in these exquisite stories...."
