Lorrie Moore’s fans waited 14 years for another novel. Because she’s Lorrie Moore — an author with a singular voice, a fantastic wit and a mastery of metaphor — it was worth the wait. I Am Homeless if This Is Not My Home pairs a Civil War-era spinster with a modern-day history teacher on administrative leave. Although the two never meet, their voices unfold mystery upon mystery about death and dying, giving us no answers but a satisfying sense of exploration. You’ve never read anything like it.
