by Lorrie Moore
This just didn't work for me. It was not necessarily badly written, but short stories are so very hard to get just right, and I don't feel like these managed at all. I'm not sure I can honestly say I liked a single one of them, though I came close with a few of them. And then they ended. Mostly...
Lorrie Moore - acerbic, real, devastating. The women are past the age of marketability and their men are low-down scum. The romance is a little gruesome (there's some geriatric flirting going on), but the reader stays with it because of the sharp lines worthy of Oscar Wilde. Cuts to the heart.
