Reviews
The prevailing sensibility of this book, collecting 43 of the 76 stories Berlin published, is cleareyed and even comic in the face of life hitting the skids... .Berlin's skill at controlling the temperature of a story is best displayed in her most emotionally demanding material... .A testament to a writer whose explorations of society's rougher corners deserve wider attention.-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"[Lucia Berlin] may just be the best writer you've never heard of... .Berlin's offbeat humor, get-on-with-it realism, and ability to layer details that echo across stories and decades give her book a tremendous staying power... .[ A Manual for Cleaning Women ] goes a long way toward putting Berlin, who died in 2004, back in the public eye." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Synopsis
One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. Global bestseller. A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. With the grit of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and a blend of wit and melancholy all her own, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday, uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians. Readers will revel in this remarkable collection from a master of the form and wonder how they'd ever overlooked her in the first place. "Perhaps, with the present collection, Lucia Berlin will begin to gain the attention she deserves." --Lydia Davis, A MANUAL FOR CLEANING WOMEN compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin., A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin.
