''You're Ugly, Too'' by Lorrie Moore was first published in the New Yorker in 1989 and was subsequently included in Moore's second collection, Like Life, and in several anthologies, including the The Best American Short Stories, 1989, the 1997 anthology,
The Penguin Book of International Women's Stories and The Best American Short Stories of the Century, edited by John Updike. ''You're Ugly, Too'' was Moore's first story to find a home in the New Yorker, the magazine considered by many to be the pre-eminent publication for new fiction. According to Don Lee, writing in Ploughshares, the story also had the distinction of causing a bit of a stir in the magazine's editorial offices. With the ''turgidity'' of long-time editor William Shaw still gripping the venerable ''institution,'' New Yorker editors pointed out to Moore several ''vulgarities'' of the writing process she had committed in the story. ''All through the editing process, they said, 'Oooh, we're breaking so many rules with this,''' Lee quotes Moore as saying.
