A review by nhelregel
Birds of America by Lorrie Moore

4.0

This collection had me torn; Moore writes beautifully, but by the end of the collection I found myself confusing characters because many of the protagonists blended together. I'm all for creating an overarching mood/tone, but it got to be a bit much. That being said, some of these stories are magnificent: "People Like That Are the Only People Here: Canonical Babbling in Peed Onk" is amazing, as it was when I first read it in another collection; "Which Is More Than I Can Say About Some People" was probably my favorite.
