I don't remember when they were out, somewhere in the late eighties, early nineties. Like you I discovered her through The New Yorker. Come to think of it, I discovered many a gem in the past 40 years through the New Yorker, and when I got tired of recycling all the papers and magazines I never have the time to read, The New Yorker, and my jewelry journals were the only things spared from cancellation. <br /><br />Thank you for the reminder. It's getting to be that time of the year when books take the place of the garden...and I seem to barely remember to breath on my own...sigh.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-34210363997053032082009-09-02T06:49:20.672-07:002009-09-02T06:49:20.672-07:00I've never heard of Lorrie Moore either but no...I've never heard of Lorrie Moore either but now I have. Thank-you. I have not read that novel of Updike's and don't know why. I am going to the library today so that will be rectified soon. When I read Updike, I wonder to myself why I even TRY to write.
