Laurie Moore's King Lear

The story is to some extent autobiographical, but she was thinking of herself as writing a weird version of King Lear. There are those little poetic moments like jokes of the wattage of life that I feel like can only happen in a Laurie Moore story. These little like sharp observational poetic moments that are distinctly her own voice. They're coming into this story. Not as much as they do in some other stories of hers where it's more lighter and banter. This is a pretty heavy story.
