Sondra The first book I read of hers was "Self Help" and it is still one of my favorites (short stories).
Fiann Cosette Birds of America
Barry Martin Vass I'd recommend her short story collections first: Birds of America and Bark. Lorrie Moore is such a wry, idiosyncratic writer that she is arguably at her best when using a short format. And she will definitely make you question the decisions her characters make, as well as their motivations.
