"Life was unendurable, and yet everywhere it was endured." —Lorrie Moore, A Gate at the Stairs
" 'Thanks, maybe later?' I said with the question mark our generation believed meant politeness but which baffled our parents." —Lorrie Moore, A Gate at the Stairs

"I was working on a laugh that was more than my usual pleased grunt, but all I had right now was a kind of blast that culminated in a bleat." —Lorrie Moore, A Gate at the Stairs
"Her features had fallen but I saw her lift them again, one by one, the way one lifts light porch furniture after a wind."
—Lorrie Moore, "A Gate at the Stairs". Every page has such treats
Jorge González BelmarJust finished reading #Anagrams by #LorrieMoore.
It's a pretty strange book, and I'll have to think about it (especially the first section) to give a better review. But I liked how she played with perspective, what is real and what is not, as well as what strikes me as a commentary on the loneliness of (then) modern living.
Sadly, as I got a Spanish #translation, it seem some humor was lost, and some had to be footnoted to make sense. "Lost in translation" and all that.
So, having finished a book 3 days ago, now I finished another one 😅 ... "Easy #Prey" (2000), by #JohnSandford.
Probably the most fun I've had so far with the series and liked that it was a #thriller where we don't know #whodunnit, as opposed to the others I've read in the series. The humor was also on point for this one, and #LucasDavenport got some character development.
Now the question is: do I follow that with #LorrieMoore or #JohnUpdike?
