A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories by Lucia Berlin
5.0
Masterful.
I quote this from the forward because it so accurately describes the reading experience: Lydia Davis: “Lucia Berlin’s stories are electric, they buzz and crackle as the live wires touch. And in response, the reader’s mind, too, beguiled, enraptured, comes alive, all synapses firing. This is the way we like to be, when we’re reading—using our brains, feeling our hearts beat.”
