Özet

In Like Life's eight exquisite stories, Lorrie Moore's characters stumble through their daily existence. These men and women, unsettled and adrift and often frightened, can't quite understand how they arrived at their present situations.

Harry has been reworking a play for years in his apartment near Times Square in New York. Jane is biding her time at a cheese shop in a Midwest mall. Dennis, unhappily divorced, buries himself in self-help books about healthful food and healthy relationships. One prefers to speak on the phone rather than face his friends, another lets the answering machine do all the talking. But whether rejected, afraid to commit, bored, disillusioned, or just misunderstood, even the most hard-bitten are not without some abiding trust in love.

These stories create vivid and memorable people, places and relationships. It felt like a blanket of sadness had been thrown over them. I liked the reader and want to find more by the author.

Carefully observed

Moore captures the 'good natured insincerity' of everyday life in these carefully observed and superbly crafted stories. Her sarcastic, acerbic, and deftly delivered put downs had me in stitches, though her humour may be too close to the bone for some readers. Definitely a match for Alice Munro.

Dark and delightful stories.

Unfortunately I found this book is very negative and depressing. Looking for a more positive one.
