Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Short stories by a young Lorrie Moore. Funny in parts, wonderful puns and wordplay, but some very serious topics explored. 1985 NYT review by Jay McInerny of all people: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/20/specials/moore-help.h... Some stories were great, but I've forgotten what they were about. I just remember feeling the pointed hopelessness of these characters, how powerless the women were to help themselves. The writing was annoying after a while -- the jokes contrived, the dialogue stilted. I couldn't finish the last story.
Like her characters, Miss Moore possesses a wry, crackly voice, an askew sense of humor and a certain reticence about emotions - qualities that lend her fiction a dry, almost alkaline flavor. Kuuluu näihin kustantajien sarjoihin
In these tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit. Filled with the sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language Moore has become famous for, these nine glittering tales marked the introduction of an extravagantly gifted writer.

Limits of the pun.
As though all juvenilia from the 1980's is trying at not trying at being Raymond Carver, a response to his presence or absence as if one were to contemplate America without Reagan. Though written with skill such that it remains amusing even at its most obnoxious.
