About This Item
London: Virago, 1985. First edition. Hardback. Fine/Fine. Virago, London, 1985. First edition. Book condition: near fine. Dust jacket condition; near fine & unclipped, virtually free of shelf wear. Grace Paley's voice is unmistakable, her vision of life a mixture of cheerful optimism and rueful acceptance. In this wonderful collection of stories, the first after a gap f about ten years, the characters from her previous volumes have grown older; but they are still preoccupied with their lovers and spouses, their parents and friends, still grappling with politics and neighbourhood life in the city, still worrying about their children. Wit a seemingly endless capacity for empathy, Grace Paley conveys how poignant and how ludicrous the human condition is.
