Byatt Narrator: Esther Wane, Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 53 minutes Release date: November 23, 2021 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A ravishing, luminous selection of short stories from the prize-winning imagination of A. S. Byatt, 'a storyteller who could keep a sultan on the edge of his throne for a thousand and one nights' (The New York Times Book Review). With an introduction by David Mitchell, best-selling author of Cloud Atlas Mirrors shatter at the hairdresser's when a middle-aged client explodes in rage. Snow dusts the warm body of a princess, honing it into something sharp and frosted. Summer sunshine flickers on the face of a smiling child who may or may not be real. Medusa's Ankles celebrates the very best of A. S. Byatt's short fiction, carefully selected from a lifetime of writing. Peopled by artists, poets, and fabulous creatures, the stories blaze with creativity and color. From ancient myth to a British candy factory, from a Chinese restaurant to a Mediterranean swimming pool, from a Turkish bazaar to a fairy-tale palace, Byatt transports her readers beyond the veneer of the ordinary—even beyond the gloss of the fantastical—to places rich and strange and wholly unforgettable.
