Summary
The celebrated collection of 12 stories from one of the finest authors at work today....
From the opening story, "Willing" - about a second-rate movie actress in her 30s who has moved back to Chicago, where she makes a seedy motel room her home and becomes involved with a mechanic who has not the least idea of who she is as a human being - Birds of America unfolds a startlingly brilliant series of portraits of the unhinged, the lost, the unsettled of our America.
In what may be her most stunning book yet, Lorrie Moore explores the personal and the universal, the idiosyncratic and the mundane, with all the wit, brio, and verve that have made her one of the best storytellers of our time.

Brilliant short stories
I used to read loads of short stories and have fallen out of the habit, but these masterful little tales reminded me why short stories are so brilliant. The vivid slices of existence will stay with me for a long time.
