This absorbing, ironic, bitter-sweet collection of nine stories marked Lorrie Moore’s talented debut. Sharp, cruel and funny, the stories are presented as a highly idiosyncratic guide to female existence: ‘How to be an Other Woman’, ‘How to Talk to Your Mother (Notes)’, ‘How to Become a Writer’, ‘The Kid’s Guide to Divorce’.

Self-Help forms an idiosyncratic guide to female existence which is just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago. These stories are modern America at its most real, with characters sharing thoughts and experiences they could have borrowed from our own lives. This is how to deal with divorce, adultery, cancer, how to talk to your mother or become a writer, the Lorrie Moore way. Experience the wonder of the written word from some of the greatest writers of the modern age, with Faber Modern Classics.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: ‘You’d make a terrific mother’. That’s when she goes to her friends’ Labor Day picnic and accidentally kills their baby. The shock of this scene is expertly packed into two brief paragraphs. What follows is Adrienne’s retreat from life and her attempt to return to it. Her sharp scepticism about the people around her is achingly funny. Yet beyond derision there is forgiveness and something along the lines of love. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

A startlingly perceptive series of portraits of the young, the hip, the lost, the unsettled and the unhinged of modern-day America, from the supremely talented Lorrie Moore. Lorrie Moore's dazzling collection of stories is remarkable for its range, emotional force and dark humour, and for the sheer beauty and power of its language. It unfolds a startlingly brilliant series of portraits of the young, the hip, the lost, the unsettled and the unhinged of modern-day America. In what may be her most stunning book yet, Lorrie Moore explores the personal and the universal, the idiosyncratic and the mundane with all of the wit, brio and verve that have made her one of the best storytellers of our time.

A brilliantly funny and sharply observant novel from one of the most acclaimed American writers of her generation. This novel follows the lives of two 11-year-olds intent on escaping childhood. As the strength of their friendship is tested repeatedly, they begin to take their first, exhilarating steps towards adulthood.

Stories of Motherhood gathers together more than a century of short fiction from a wide variety of authors in a literary celebration of the most elemental of human relationships. Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, Sherwood Anderson, Elizabeth Bowen, Anita Desai, Colm Toibin, Lorrie Moore and many others write memorably about mothers – having, leaving, loving and losing them – in stories lyrical and satirical, realistic and fantastic, hilarious and heartbreaking.

A Different Beat - это экспериментальный альбом, так как здесь Moore впервые серьёзно увлёкся электронным звучанием. Сочетание пронзительной соло-гитары с жёстким брейкбитом может быть расценено и как смелый шаг вперёд, и желание порвать со старыми штампами. Однако в последующих своих альбомах Gary Moore вернулся к характерному блюз-року, эксперименты с электроникой не стали для него тенденцией.
