If you've never read the short stories of Lorrie Moore, I suggest you do with haste. I'm putting together my teaching syllabus and have been re-reading her work for consideration and most definite inclusion.
Her work is full of humor, heartbreak, and quiet brilliance as in this quote:
"When you were six you thought mistress meant to put your shoes on the wrong feet. Now you are older and know it can mean many things, but essentially it means to put your shoes on the wrong feet."
-From the short story "How To Be An Other Woman"
