A review by duffymn
Evening in Paradise by Lucia Berlin

5.0

I will read everything Berlin reads, as she helped me become a writer in college. She helped me to realize that it’s ok not to change character names, and to keep things ugly, and all of that is okay. I miss her as a human, but grateful that someone felt obligated to publish her post-humus. Her voice will always be in my mind when I read her. Pretty great, as she would say.
