I knew that Steve Martin was a talented author from his work in The New Yorker (not from Cruel Shoes, mind you, though I've always loved How to Fold Soup), but Shopgirl really shows his prowess. Steve can really create characters and lets them explain themselves to the reader through their actions. Everyone in this book has huge problems, but you end up loving them all anyway. The only question that remains is if women really do trim their pubes when they're depressed. OK, that was uncalled for - this is a beautiful book that will make you fall in love with anyone who's lonely.Labels: books
