«Like Life: Stories» is Lorrie Moore's collection of eight stories, published by Plume Books in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Eight stories about people who don't quite understand how they got where they are: singles, divorcees and dreamers trying to sustain emotional bonds while coping with routine. Moore combines tenderness, sarcasm and dark humor to show characters who, despite disappointment and loneliness, keep an obstinate faith in love.
The stories «Two Boys», «Joy», «You're ugly, too», «The Jewish hunter» and «Like life» are part of this 1991 edition, published in the Plume Contemporary Fiction series.
Aimed at readers of short stories and contemporary literary fiction, with special appeal for those who enjoy irony and dark humor in short narrative.
Lorrie Moore is an American writer, critic, and essayist. She is best known for her short stories, some of which have won major awards. Since 1984, she has also taught creative writing.
