The very first story collection from Lorrie Moore, one of the finest and most beloved American writers.

In these tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit. Filled with the sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language Moore has become famous for, these nine glittering talesmarked the introduction of an extravagantly gifted writer.
