Birds of America: Stories

Esquire's 80 Books Every Person Should Read (80 books items)

"If you're not in love with Lorrie Moore, I worry for you. You will hear people speak differently after reading this book, as if you've been in need of a hearing aid for years and you didn't know it. "People Like That Are The Only People Here" is worth the price of admission alone, as it's one of the most powerful and important short stories (about love and loneliness and motherhood and death) of this century."
