Mary Maloney appears to be a typical 1950s housewife but harbors a dark secret - she is a murderer. When her husband tells her he wants a divorce, she kills him in a fit of rage. To cover up her crime, she uses her wits and femininity, baking the murder weapon - a leg of lamb - into a pie for the detectives investigating her husband's disappearance.

Bruce Chatwin was a renowned British writer and traveller whose life and works were deeply intertwined. An eye illness led him to travel and write, producing novels that blended reportage with personal reflections in a semi-autobiographical style. His novels explored serious issues like modern civilization's impact on indigenous people and a sense of restlessness in humans stemming from our nomadic past. He invented a new form of travel literature blended with fiction and ideas that he called "search," following whimsical characters but also filtering experiences through research and reflection to recreate a unique sense of place.
George Orwell was an author deeply interested in social problems who believed writers had a responsibility to engage with and respond to what was happening around them. His dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, set in a future totalitarian society in 1984, portrayed a frightening vision of a world without freedom, privacy, or independent thought where even language is controlled and distorted to manipulate people. The protagonist Winston Smith tries to rebel against the oppressive dictatorship through love and memory but is ultimately broken physically and mentally by the overwhelming power of the totalitarian state embodied by Big Brother. Orwell aimed to warn readers about the dangers of dictatorship, lack of freedom, and how power could be used to control thought and distort language.
Angela Carter was an influential English author known for transforming fairy tales and folklore into stories with surreal, Gothic, and feminist themes. She is best known for her short story collection The Bloody Chamber, which retells classic fairy tales from a symbolic, sexually liberated female perspective.

They deal with themes of women's roles, sexuality, identity, and the balance of power in relationships. Overall, The Bloody Chamber can be seen as a narrative exploring issues of feminism and metamorphosis through interconnected tales of oppressed women seeking liberation.
James Joyce was an Irish novelist and poet considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He was known for employing innovative literary techniques like stream of consciousness and interior monologue.

Both works examined themes of paralysis, escape, and epiphany through realistic yet symbolic narratives and drew from Joyce's international cultural influences and love of experimenting with language.
Virginia Woolf and James Joyce were both modernist writers who shared several similarities in their experimental narrative techniques and themes of alienation, despair, and loneliness depicted in their characters' lives.

Additionally, religious torment was a stronger theme in Joyce's works while Woolf explored more themes like feminism and the impacts of war and neurosis. Joyce's characters were also more victims of their inner circumstances compared to Woolf's characters who attempted to adapt to outer conditions.
