Couverture de Like Life par Lorrie Moore

Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur In this brilliant collection of stories Lorrie Moore addresses herself to a contemporary emotional dilemma - the widening gulf between men and women, and the simultaneous yearning for and fear of closeness.'Out of a jumble of frustrated ambitions, thwarted love, and seduction scenes that tend towards the grotesque, Moore conjures stories that are compelling, frequently charming and never grey.' Time Out Biographie de l'auteur Lorrie Moore was born in 1957 in Glens Falls, New York, and attended St Lawrence University and Cornell University.
