[Being] a mistress.
It is like having a book out from the library.
It is like constantly having a book out from the library

Limits of the pun.

As though all juvenilia from the 1980's is trying at not trying at being Raymond Carver, a response to his presence or absence as if one were to contemplate America without Reagan. Though written with skill such that it remains amusing even at its most obnoxious.

[What does a systems analyst do.] Oh … they get married a lot. They’re usually always married.

He seems to be investing something in all of this (bankers)

and suddenly I woke up with a jerk

parasites, pair of sights, parricides

Short stories by a young Lorrie Moore. Funny in parts, wonderful puns and wordplay, but some very serious topics explored.

None of the stories I read would I have rated more than two stars.

"What is beautiful is seized."
A line from one of the stories; it's true. Seized, and ruined. ( )

Some stories were great, but I've forgotten what they were about. I just remember feeling the pointed hopelessness of these characters, how powerless the women were to help themselves. The writing was annoying after a while -- the jokes contrived, the dialogue stilted. I couldn't finish the last story. ( )

well, the second-person instructional style for some of the stories was interesting, but the novelty wore off in the middle of the second story that used it.

I really enjoyed the epigraphs. ( )

Like her characters, Miss Moore possesses a wry, crackly voice, an askew sense of humor and a certain reticence about emotions - qualities that lend her fiction a dry, almost alkaline flavor.
