A Manual For Cleaning Women - Lucia Berlin

Still reading it but already obsessed. Forty-three short stories written by Lucia Berlin over the course of thirty years.

One of The New York Times’ 100 Best Books of the Twenty-First Century. Berlin was a fiction writer uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians.
