Self-Help by Lorrie Moore

---

Funny, tragic and beautifully written. Stories that make you gawp with grief when they end and make you howl at her amazing observation, wisdom and wit. Great, some feel like you have stuck your head in the middle of someone's life and they are not giving you any explanation of who anybody is, you have to figure it out for yourself. Fantastic. Makes me want to write more, makes me want to read more, makes me want to give up writing altogether as this is just brilliantly done.
