“Wilderness Tips” by Margaret Atwood

I found this set of short stories to be too gloomy and bleak to be enjoyable. A world of middle aged women where adultery is commonplace doesn’t appeal to me in the least. Also, I found the occurrence of summer camps and people who wrote for a living to be rather repetitive. I suppose that intellectually, Atwood is an interesting writer, but I don’t think her characters are all that appealing
