Some books are not to be judged, but simply to be experienced. For me, one such book is Lorrie Moore’s “I Am Homeless if This Is Not My Home,' writes biblioracle.
Author Lorrie Moore outside her home in Madison, Wisconsin, in November 2009.
“I Am Homeless…” consists of two threads that ultimately join. The first, which opens the novel, is a series of apparent epistles by a woman running a post-Civil War boardinghouse to her sister. The second, which is the bulk of the novel, is the story of Finn, a private school history teacher suspended from his job who receives news of a tragedy while visiting his dying brother in hospice.
I think the honest answer to my friend’s question is to recognize that some books in our lives are not to be judged or understood, but simply to be experienced.
