rating:
recommended for: That woman that does horrible, girly book reviews on Fresh Air.
Lorrie Moore seems too intellectually restless for short stories, like she'd prefer to be doing long, slow burn novels where over-written sentences such as, "People talking were meant to look at a face, the disastrous cupcake of it, the hide-and-seek of the heart dashing across," might not be as out of place as they are here. But apparently her editor won't let her and keeps forcing her write underdeveloped and thematically confusing 20 pagers.
