A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories
A Manual for Cleaning Women brings together the finest stories by the renowned writer Lucia Berlin. With the raw edge of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and her unique blend of wit and poignancy, Berlin transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary tales. She finds beauty and grace in unexpected places—laundromats, halfway houses in the American Southwest, affluent homes in the Bay Area, and among switchboard operators, struggling mothers, hitchhikers, and flawed believers. This extraordinary collection showcases a true master of the short story, leaving readers to marvel at how she could have been overlooked for so long.
