About this Item

Paley's quirky, boisterous characters and rich use of language 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. This is a rare copy of Grace Paley's debut collection of stories. First published in 1959 and reissued by Andre Deutsch in 1969.
