Hoping to regain her self-confidence, Abby travels to Ireland in the company of her mother, who knows exactly what her daughter is doing wrong and how to live her life. Eileen mourns her beloved cat, but everyone around her is convinced that she's really grieving for something else - you can't kill for an animal like that! The young couple's world falls apart when the woman notices a red stain on the baby's diaper. Hollywood actress gives up her career and shortens her days in a provincial motel, consoling herself with sherry and a relationship with an auto mechanic, sex with whom is much more pleasant than talking... "Birds of America" - twelve stories by Lorrie Moore, providing the writer with the status of a modern classic. With her inherent wit, insight and dark humor Moore introduces readers to confused, desperate, lonely people. There are only such people here, and each is unhappy in his or her own way.
