Loved it.
I love Lorrie Moore. Images and lines from her stories often come to mind. This book was a weak offering. This does not greatly temper my love of her writing - I will go back to Birds of America and it will be renewed.
ive become a big lorrie moore fan (my favourite story was Faux)

I didn't find it as compelling as her earlier collections, but its hard to top Birds of America
Well, that was a weird little collection. "Wings" was definitely my favorite story, coincidentally the longest and most developed. The rest were kind of (shrugs shoulders.) I remember loving Birds of America so I think I'll go back and re-read that.

Some of the stories were enjoyable to the point that I wanted more, longer, tell me more! I didn't get or care about some of the stories though. Mixed.
