Lorrie Moore has never let me down (,: this was a delicious collection of short stories, a good taste of her more creative writing but also very mundane writing Moore is so rooted in and good at. i described this collection as stories of people in crises, which might be the only kind of stories Moore writes, but i think this was pretty pinnacle. maybe her most consistently pessimistic!??? there are some beautiful love stories, some ironic stories that made me giggle to myself, and several tragic pieces of life. majority of the stories were bite size and could be read in one sitting (had some incredible morning teas enjoying this book, moments of pure bliss). and only two were around fifty pages (the things Lorrie Moore can do with fifty pages). all in all a wonderful reminder why i love this author so much. easy recommend!!
