Complicated, awkward, funny, cruel, heartbroken, mysterious; Self-Help forms an idiosyncratic guide to female existence which is just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago. These stories are modern America at its most real, with characters sharing thoughts and experiences they could have borrowed from our own lives. This is how to deal with divorce, adultery, cancer, how to talk to your mother or become a writer, the Lorrie Moore way.

This book was both devastatingly incredible. I read it in no more than 2 sittings. As far as I'm concerned Lorrie Moore is a master of the short story based purely on this book and I can't wait to read the rest of her work.
