With a sure and humor­ous touch, Grace Paley explores the ​“lit­tle dis­tur­bances” that lie behind our every­day lives. Whether writ­ing about sexy lit­tle girls, lov­ing and bick­er­ing cou­ples, angry sub­ur­ban­ites, frus­trat­ed job-seek­ers, or Jew­ish chil­dren per­form­ing a Christ­mas play, she cap­tures the lone­li­ness, poignan­cy, and humor of human expe­ri­ence with match­less style.
