“I’m not consciously balancing humor and tragedy, but I know that they do exist side by side.” In this Louisiana Channel interview, Lorrie Moore talks about the nature of jokes, the emotional and tonal range of her short stories, and reflects on the sense of repetition in her novel I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home (Knopf, 2023).
In this U.S. Embassy Berlin Literature Series event, Lorrie Moore reads from her novel I Am Homeless if This Is Not My Home (Knopf, 2023), which is featured in Page One in the July/August issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, and joins author Lauren Groff to speak about first drafts and techniques for establishing the interior voice in a novel.
At the 2018 National Book Festival, Lorrie Moore, author of See What Can Be Done: Essays, Criticism, and Commentary (Knopf, 2018), and Richard Russo, author of The Destiny Thief: Essays on Writing, Writers and Life (Knopf, 2018), speak about humor and storytelling with Kevin Larimer, editor in chief of Poets & Writers Magazine.
