A Grace Paley Reader: Stories, Essays, and Poetry by Grace Paley
5.0
I loved every part of this except the introduction. (It was just gushy and overwrought. Skip the intro.) The afterward by her daughter was beautiful.
Someone had recommended Grace Paley to me and I'm glad they did. I found her stories delightful and her voice so strong. She comes through as a full person in her essays and notes and the voice of her narrators, always dropping the sharpest humor! It gave me a lot to think about in the construction of short fiction.
