The Apt Awakening And Selected Short Sybaritic Stories is a wonderful twist on the original The Awakening and Selected Short Stories. If you are a long time fan of the Kate Chopin original, you'll be curious how true this book is to the original. The book makes a departure from the original and may be the most wacky by-product for the Kate Chopin fan. In this expanded edition of The Awakening and Selected Short Stories, 85 percent of the original text has been preserved but fused with how Kate Chopin would write it today.... It's the perfect read for literature lovers, Kate Chopin fans, and anyone who loves a reanimated The Awakening and Selected Short Stories.
