      abstract = {"In The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher, Hilary  Mantel's trademark gifts of penetrating characterization,  unsparing eye, and rascally intelligence are once again  fully on display. Her classic wicked humor in each  story--which range from a ghost story to a vampire story to  near-memoir to mini-sagas of family and social  fracture--brilliantly unsettles the reader in that  unmistakably Mantel way. Mantel brutally and acutely writes  about gender, marriage, class, family, and sex, cutting to  the core of human experience. Unpredictable, diverse, and  even shockingly unexpected, each story grabs you by the  throat within a couple of sentences. The Assassination of  Margaret Thatcher displays a magnificent writer at the peak  of her powers"--},
