Product Description
Review
'Paley is as clever a mimic as Philip Roth, as cheerfully zany and aleatory in her vision of New York as Christina Stead, as serendipitous as Donald Bartheleme, but her unladylike gutsiness and friendliness are nonpareil' EDMUND WHITE, OBSERVER 'This is a collection full of energy and stunning, quiet innovation ... it spills over with contempt, raucous humour, sadness and generosity. In it, life and language are synonymous, and there is no higher praise. What a wonderful book' ALI SMITH, SCOTSMAN 'An understanding of loneliness, lust, selfishness and fatigue that is splendidly comic and unladylike' PHILIP ROTH 'Largely set within the same small close-knit community in New York's Lower East Side ... ultimately what's at stake for Paley is whether to believe in the comic possibility of continuance or the tragic inevitablity of ending. Grace Paley's is an exceptional voice in contemporary American literature' KASIA BODDY, GUARDIAN 'A voice like no one else's: funny, sad, lean, modest, energetic, acute' SUSAN SONTAG 'Some of the most important and lasting stories of the second half of the century' TLS 'Paley relishes the possibilities that exist between beginnings and endings, birth and death' LITERARY REVIEW
THE TIMES
'Entirely distinctive, disconcertingly honest, unladylike, moving and highly comic'
