<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this collection of short stories, originally published in 1974, Grace Paley makes the novel as a form seem virtually redundant (Angela Carter, <i>London Review of Books</i>). Her stories here capture the itch of the city, love between parents and children and the cutting edge of combat (Lis Harris, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i>). In this collection of seventeen stories, she creates a solid and vital fictional world, cross-referenced and dense with life (Walter Clemons, <i>Newsweek</i>).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Grace Paley makes me weep and laugh-and admire. She is that rare kind of writer, a natural, with a voice like no one else's: funny, sad, lean, modest, energetic, acute." --<i>Susan Sontag</i> <p/>"Grace Paley is a wonderful writer and troublemaker. We are fortunate to have her in our country." --<i>Donald Barthelme</i> <p/>"I can't think of another writer who captures the itch of the city, love between parents and children, or the cutting edge of combat, as well." --<i>Lis Harris, The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Technically, Grace Paley's work makes the novel as a form seem virtually redundant. Each one of her stories has more abundant inner life than most other people's novels . . . Her prose presents a series of miracles of poetic compression." --<i>Angela Carter, London Review of Books</i> <p/>"A solid and vital fictional world, cross-referenced and dense with life." --<i>Walter Clemons, Newsweek</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Grace Paley</b> remains one of America's most revered short story writers. Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1922, Paley established a reputation as a bard of Jewish New York with highly acclaimed collections like <i>The Little Disturbances of Man</i> (1959), <i>Enormous Changes at the Last Minute</i> (1974), and <i>Later the Same Day</i> (1985). <i>The Collected Stories</i> (1994) was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. She died in Vermont on August 22, 2007.</p>
