 A collection of second-person narration with some wry observations. Originally, I asked for this book as I was read an edited version of "How to Be a Writer" (which she thought I would like as I study communications/professional writing). The edited version was better. There were some stories that I completely connected with and I suspect part of the ones I do not relate to my distaste of women in fool themselves in affairs with married men (some can handle it, not her characters). However, at multiple points in the collection, I felt the 2nd person narration was a device used to illicit sympathy for the characters that she would not be able to muster from other points of view. 
Worth studying but you cannot just lose yourself in it.   hide

Inspires me to think I could write short stories. She makes it look so easy. But,then where do I begin?

A re-read of a classic of the short story.

Lorrie Moore is who I want to be -- humorous, truthful, poignant and wonderful.

Fragments of love and loss have never been this tasty. The story, "What Is Seized" has taken over everything.
