Birds of America: Stories by Lorrie Moore

5.0

certainly an all time favorite! beautiful vignettes of human life— painfully relatable characters. Witty, suffering, loving, and a little bit cynical. Moore creates fiction out of what is not, she highlights the absurd and soft spoken beauties of the sometimes seemingly mundane, always deceptively beautiful human experience. So lovely and comforting to read, so funny too, and at times written with such intensity that one cannot help but savor the tears welling in their eyes, and to bask in the power of human emotion and relation, glowing radiant melancholy love. wonderful!
