Genius of the second person. This is a great collection - the stuff of chicklit (women, mothers and daughters, relationships, clothes....) but transformed.

Lorrie Moore is an excellent short story writer--her characters have so much depth that you could imagine an entire novel centered around them. Sort of a melancholy collection but amazing nonetheless.

This very cohesive collection of short stories has a unique strength and depth. Once you finished you have the strange feeling of getting a whole picture of something by looking to separate pieces, and that's impressive. The depth of the characters hiding in a very simple structure is also challenging. But to me it doesn't arrive to the levels of "Birds of America".

This is a great collection of short stories. One I could, and do, read over and over. The style is unique--unlike anything I've ever read before--and the humor is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Lorrie Moore did a fabulous job with this debut novel.
