Like Life | Lorrie Moore
3 posts | 10 read | 12 to read
In Like Lifes eight exquisite stories, Lorrie Moores characters stumble through their daily existence. These men and women, unsettled and adrift and often frightened, cant 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.

I found a first edition for my collection. It's not in great shape and it's not a first printing, BUT the price was right and it's signed. ❤

Now all I need is a first edition of Birds of America. I don't shop for them online because I like looking for them in neat used bookstores, especially when I'm travelling.

Stories start and stop. No beginning, middle or ending. However, exquisite writing.

In honor of International Women's Day @Kitta and I decided to display only books by women authors. I think we're doing pretty well at having an even split! Especially impressed with the #botm collection-100% women so far!
