Praise for A Manual for Cleaning Women

'Only Carver's very final stories share Berlin's eye for the sudden exaltation in ordinary lives, or her ability to shift the tone of an entire story with an unexpected sentence.' Guardian

'An important American writer . . . She is the real deal.' New York Times

'Sharp, unpredictable, vital characters . . . [Berlin's stories] hit you with a force the moment you happen upon them.' Jackie Kay, Observer

'This selection of forty-three stories . . . should by all rights see [Lucia Berlin] as lauded as Jean Rhys or Raymond Carver.' Independent

Über den Autor
Lucia Berlin (1936-2004) worked brilliantly but sporadically throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Her stories are inspired by her early childhood in various Western mining towns; her glamorous teenage years in Santiago, Chile; three failed marriages; a lifelong problem with alcoholism; her years spent in Berkeley, New Mexico, and Mexico City; and the various jobs she held to support her writing and her four sons. Sober and writing steadily by the 1990s, she took a visiting writer's post at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1994 and was soon promoted to associate professor. In 2001, in failing health, she moved to Southern California to be near her sons. She died in 2004 in Marina del Rey. A collection of her stories, A Manual for Cleaning Women, was published to great acclaim in 2015.
Zusammenfassung
From the author of A Manual for Cleaning Women: a collection of previously un-compiled stories from the short-story master and literary sensation Lucia Berlin.
