A Village Voice Book of the Year "A marvelous collection.... Her stories are tough, lean, funny, and metaphysical.... Birds of America has about it a wild beauty that simply makes one feel more connected to life." --The Boston Globe
"At once sad, funny, lyrical and prickly, Birds of America attests to the deepening emotional chiaroscuro of her wise and beguiling work." --The New York Times "Stunning.... There's really no one like Moore; in a perfect marriage of art form and mind, she has made the short story her own." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Birds of America stands as a major work of American short fiction.... Absolutely mastered." --Elle
"Wonderful.... These stories impart such terrifying truths." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"Lorrie Moore soars with Birds of America.... A marvelous, fiercely funny book." --Newsweek
"Fifty years from now, it may well turn out that the work of very few American writers has as much to say about what it means to be alive in our time as that of Lorrie Moore." --Harper's Magazine

A side to Civil Rights
Format: Paperback
A Civil Rights victory through purely peaceful means never seemed completely likely to me and this book is certainly an eye opener and contains information that every US History and US Government teacher should know.
Rights are not preserved unless men are willing to stand up to those who seek to oppress. In this case, many black men in the heart of Dixie finally, and near spontaneously banded together and stopped the KKK and forced the local and state governments to finally acknowledge that the natural born rights that John Locke wrote of in the Second Treatise of Government and that the Founders and Framers of our country adopted applied to all men, regardless of race.
