"The first one-volume collection of all of Lorrie Moore's short stories, with an introduction by Lauren Groff"--
This career-spanning collection of Moore's work showcases her talent for leavening tragedy with humor, for blending sorrow with subversive wit. The stories are peopled by a variety of lost souls grappling with pain or disappointment. -- adapted from jacket
Quotes by Lorrie Moore
From WikiquoteAnd so they drove on. The night before, a whole day could have shape and design. But when it was upon you, it could vanish tragically to air.
But she had no memory of how to be brave. Here, it seemed, she had no memories at all. Nothing triggered them. And once in a while, when shegave voice to the fleeting edge of one, it seemed like something she was making up.
As a vacuum cleaner can start to pull up the actual thread of a carpet, her brains had been sucked dry by too much yoga.
