The publication of "Self-Help" introduced readers to Lorrie Moore's
refined blend of humor and insight, and made her one of the
best-loved writers of her generation. These stories, told in a
voice that is at once witty, melancholy, and bravely honest, paint
a tableau of lovers and family, of loss and pleasure, desire and
memory. From the young secretary who by day hopes someone will
notice her Phi Beta Kappa key and by night makes love to a married
man she met at a Florsheim shoe store, to the shattering of a
marriage by the shores of a tranquil lake, "Self-Help" is a unique,
enduring work of short fiction.
