Like Life by Lorrie Moore

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.'
