As well as being an author of consummate craft she was a writer of joy. “Charm is a word I have never used,” her friend, the writer Vivian Gornick, said over email. “But a few weeks ago I realised that when I think of Lore, the word comes into my head. What I mean by that is this: she loved being alive, she found the world attractive, as a result she found something attractive in almost every person who came her way. This quality irradiated her personality. Not a person to whom I introduced her failed to fall in love with her. This, I think, is the essence of charm.”
