Fairy tale play = always a way to sell me on something :)
I think I'll check out those collections, rather than attempting another novel. (I saw Wilderness Tips on the shelf at the library when I was getting Oryx and Crake, hadn't heard anything about it previously.)
I found "The Age of Lead" very powerful (reminded me of Peg Kerr's The Wild Swans, though that connection doesn't entirely make sense) and thought most of the stories were very interesting, though like Joyce Carol Oates it leaves me with uncomfortable feelings, so it's hard to say whether I "liked" most of them.
