Like Life
New York: Knopf
(1990).
First Edition. Signed. $60.00 |
| Lorrie Moore is among the most beloved of contemporary writers. Consistently inventive and wryly comic, the eight exquisite stories in Like Life remind us why. Moore's characters, unsettled and adrift, aren't quite sure how they've fallen into their present lives. 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 Midwestern mall; Dennis, unhappily divorced, buries himself in self-help books about health food and relationships. They feel rejected, afraid to commit, bored or disillusioned or misunderstood, but even the most hard-bitten carry on with an abiding mist in love. | |
