Description
Since the publication of Self-Help, her first collection of stories, Lorrie Moore has been hailed as one of the greatest and most influential voices in American fiction. Her ferociously funny, soulful stories tell of the gulf between men and women, the loneliness of the broken-hearted and the yearned-for, impossible intimacies we crave.
Gathered here for the first time in paperback is the complete stories along with three new and previously unpublished in book form: Paper Losses, The Juniper Tree, and Debarking.
