The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing explores the life lessons of Jane, the contemporary American Everywoman who combines the charm of Bridget Jones, the vulnerability of Ally McBeal, and the wit of Lorrie Moore.
The nicest thing about this book is the epigraphs. There are lots, taken from the advice manuals on which the great American character was built....The stories, however, are less ironic than their epigraphs might suggest. They have a curiously sheltered and olde-world quality, charming in a way, but also odd.
