Birds of America by Lorrie Moore

A startlingly perceptive series of portraits of the young, the hip, the lost, the unsettled and the unhinged of modern-day America, from the supremely talented Lorrie Moore. 'Her stories, her stories, are perfect.' Slate 'Irresistible.' New York Times Book Review 'Such a delight.' Sunday Telegraph 'One of America's most brilliant writers.' Stylist Lorrie Moore's dazzling collection of stories is remarkable for its range, emotional force and dark humour, and for the sheer beauty and power of its language. It unfolds a startlingly brilliant series of portraits of the young, the hip, the lost, the unsettled and the unhinged of modern-day America. In what may be her most stunning book yet, Lorrie Moore explores the personal and the universal, the idiosyncratic and the mundane with all of the wit, brio and verve that have made her one of the best storytellers of our time.
Lorrie Moore is the award-winning author of the story collections Self-Help, Like Life, and Birds of America, and the novels Anagrams and Who will Run the Frog Hospital? She currently teaches English at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
