Bark: Stories

Lorrie Moore

3.49 AVERAGE


The collection of stories. One of them translated into Serbian by me, and the rest by my classmates for university project. Will always hold a special place in my heart. Re-read these days, before the translation comes out in Serbia.

Moore is one of my longtime favorite short story composers, but this collection felt less inspired than her previous collections somehow.

Fine

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I liked the stories at the beginning. As the book went on, the language became more artistic and I lost the plot and character development. I liked that the short stories were short.

This book deserves a re-read in either a hardcopy or ebook. Short stories in audiobook are a bit difficult for me to follow along and retain.

it hurts to give this book three stars.
