Gosh, Lucia Berlin is Marvellous ! The little knots in her stories tied so deftly, with such simple elegance and warm human honesty, both funny and faithful, they bring one near her - which is a super place to be.
Okay I am adding Lucia Berlin to my list right now. Thanks! I loved Caste so I am really excited to pick up Warmth of Other Suns. If you liked it more than Caste it should be great 😊
Great review! I will definitely need to pick up Manual for Cleaning Women. I’ve heard of her short story collections before, but didn’t know much about Berlin or what she wrote about until now. It sounds great. I loved the passages you read. Also, I’ve been going back and forth on whether to read Caste or Warmth of Other Suns first, so I appreciate your input on both!
