Okay, so I'm late in discovering Ms. Moore's stories. But now that I have, I shall read them until I've read them all. This collection of her short stories is sure to please all but the most surly reader. These lives of ordinary folk in extraordinary circumstances, both tragic and hilarious, will stay in your mind for days.

Birds of America is a stunning collection of twelve stories by Lorrie Moore, one of our finest authors at work today. With her characteristic wit and piercing intelligence she unfolds a series of portraits of the lost and unsettled of America, and with a trademark humor that fuels each story with pathos and understanding.
