Margaret Atwood will release a short-story collection next year

Save the date! Margaret Atwood has a new short-story collection coming out.

Old Babes in the Wood will come out March 7 in both the US and UK.

The Guardian reports that some of the fifteen stories in the collection are brand-new, but all are described as "highly personal" by Atwood's publisher.

Atwood last released a work of fiction in 2019, with The Testaments, her sequel to the modern classic The Handmaid’s Tale; since then, she's published volumes of poetry and essays.

Of her upcoming work, Atwood said: "Old Babes in the Wood is a mixed bag, like life. It contains bad taste, also like life."
