Abstract

My critical comments on Margaret Atwood’s short-story, selected by Jane Urquhart to be collected in her 2007 Penguin edition of Canadian Short Stories, focuses on the memory of those old days spent knitting as well as reading a “favourite book” entitled The Art of Cooking and Serving (226), which is also the title of Atwood's tale: a story which can be considered either as a picture of the collective Canadian past, or as the tale of an individual experience, perhaps of Atwood herself, a memory of that old “Summer” when she was a child. It was certainly a great choice by Jane Urquhart to choose this story among Atwood’s ones to be published in her Penguin Collection of Canadian Short Stories.
