A manual for cleaning women

A manual for cleaning women / Lucia Berlin 428 pgs.

A collection of short stories from an author who died too young.  These stories have recurring characters and are places and times similar to the author's life.  It took me awhile to notice the connections but only because I read only one story a night so I could savor each of them.  All were enjoyable.  Although addiction and failed relationships are a theme, there is a bit of joy or humor even in the most depressing stories.
