Forty-five little treats. Paley is not prolific - she has published
fewer than 400 pages in 39 years, putting her life into politics
and not into prose. 'Art is too long,' she has said, 'and life is
too short for just writing.' But, despite this modesty, every
single one of the 45 stories collected here is a jewel. Her
reveries, mostly set in shabby New York neighbourhoods, have that
knack of seeming inconsequential, of reading like backstairs gossip
and posing as idle vignettes, while surreptitiously evangelizing
the glorious richness of the world. Just writing? Review by JIM
CRACE. Editor's note: Jim Crace's books include Quarantine and
Being Dead. (Kirkus UK)
Here are all Grace Paley's classic stories in one volume. From her
first book THE LITTLE DISTURBANCES OF MAN (1959), to ENORMOUS
CHANGES AT THE LAST MINUTE (1974) and LATER THE SAME DAY (1985),
Grace Paley's quirky, boisterous characters and rich use of
language have won her readers' hearts and secured her place as one
of America's most accomplished short story writers. Her stories are
united by her signature interweaving of personal and political
truths, her extraordinary capacity for empathy and her pointed
depiction of the small and large events that make up daily life.
