Chosen Book of 1998 by the prestigious The New York Times, Birds America portrays a number of men and women, young and not so young, today's America, lost and lonely people who have learned to live with disappointments, but always with the feeling of being in the wrong place, if not real stars, that life has swiped illusions. The Birds of America stories are imprinted with the seal of everyday life turned to tragedy, from the vulgar to be transmuted into the terrible.
As Carver, which is widely considered heir plenipotentiary, Lorrie Moore explores the loneliness of the partners, Dorothy Parker would say, but also in contemporary ironies in everyday desire mismatches in the dark reverse the disease places in life. [...] Everything fits into his style, everything is new in it and yet all drinks from the masters-Carver and Cheever are there, but his characters are close to us are of our generation.
