Freedom and fate, an inner life of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Stephen E. A manual for cleaning women : selected stories by Lucia Berlin Book 3 editions published between and in English and held by 7 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin.
With her trademark blend of humor and melancholy, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday uncovering moments of grace in the cafeterias and Laundromats of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Northern California upper classes, and from the perspective of a cleaning woman alone in a hotel dining room in Mexico City.
The women of Berlin's stories are lost, but they are also strong, clever, and extraordinarily real. They are hitchhikers, hard workers, bad Christians. With the wit of Lorrie Moore and the grit of Raymond Carver, they navigate a world of jockeys, doctors, and switchboard operators. They laugh, they mourn, they drink. Berlin, a highly influential writer despite having published little in her lifetime, conjures these women from California, Mexico, and beyond.
