I'm sure I'm in a minority in not particularly liking this collection-though some of the work was delicious. Berlin certainly had an eye for incidents in her life that would pique a reader's interest. On the other hand, I found it too confessional, too personal, and so not distanced enough. Then, some of the sexual adventures seemed to me to be fantasy, not reality. Finally, if one likes the traditional story form, rather than the minimalist approach, this is not for you.

Breathing
As a long-time lover of modern American literature I have been thrilled to discover Lucia Berlin's writing. I am reading this book at the moment and am in a hurry to finish so that I can pass it on to my daughter but I keep stopping to breath properly again, such is the effect she causes. Lucia Berlin's life infuses much if not all of the stories so that it is like reading the autobiography of a multitude of American women; the joys, travails, despairs, delights and wonders, however, are those of us all at one time or another if we are lucky. Such a great book.
