But from these commonplace lives she conjures spellbinding mini-dramas, drawing us in from each story’s opening line, generating great suspense and fully engaging our sympathies. Throughout, the writing is vibrant, uninhibited and packed with sensual detail. Moore acknowledges the beauty of nature and the human capacity for kindness; she is no stranger to the essential comedy of the human condition. But never does she shy away from the dark undercurrents of her characters’ lives. Something for Everyone is an important book by a major talent working at the height of her considerable powers, an author who isn’t afraid to stretch the boundaries of her art and who pursues her singular aesthetic vision in an uncompromising and wildly entertaining manner.","OtherText_Review_4_Auth":"Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award Jury Citation","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"Lisa Moore returns with her third story collection that shows us the timeless, the tragic, and the miraculous hidden in our everyday lives.","PrizeCodeText_0":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_1":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_2":"Long-listed","PrizeCodeText_3":"Commended","PrizeCodeText_4":"Commended","PrizeCode_0":"01","PrizeCode_1":"01","PrizeCode_2":"05","PrizeCode_3":"03","PrizeCode_4":"03","PrizeName_0":"Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award","PrizeName_1":"Alistair MacLeod Prize for Short Fiction","PrizeName_2":"Scotiabank Giller Prize","PrizeName_3":"A Globe and Mail Book of the Year","PrizeName_4":"A Quill \u0026amp; Quire Book of the Year","PrizeYear_0":"2018","PrizeYear_1":"2018","PrizeYear_2":"2018","PrizeYear_3":"2018","PrizeYear_4":"2018","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2018-09-04","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"Lisa Moore returns with her third story collection that shows us the timeless, the tragic, and the miraculous hidden in our everyday lives.","Width":"5.25","WidthCode":"in"}
