Like Life

Начало книги

“Astonishingly good.… Moore’s lively narrative voice makes the bleakest moments vibrant.… A talent with endless possibilities.”

— The Seattle Times

“Displays an impressive range of voice and tone and a punning, exuberant humor.”

— The Washington Post Book World

“Moore’s comic sensibility is [close] to Dorothy Parker.… Like Parker, she shows the wounds that wisecracks are meant to cauterize, and the desperate loneliness that gives rise to humor.… Her brilliant and ever-expanding body of work suggests there are few enduring pleasures left to us — not least of which are laughing, weeping, and marveling at the countless ways we stumble through.”

— The Village Voice

“Although the stories in Like Life are as funny and archly observant as those in Ms. Moore’s earlier collection, they are also softer, wiser, more minor-key.… The results are richer, more ambitious stories.”

— The New York Times

“Ruefully funny, sweetly cynical.… Thick with insight and laugh-first, think-later humor.”
