Bark by Lorrie Moore showcases her signature wit and keen observation of human relationships, earning praise for its sharp prose and dark humor. However, some readers find the stories uneven and not as impactful as her previous work. While Moore's skill in capturing life's absurdities is evident, a few pieces feel overly familiar or lacking in depth. MLA.
