Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Tackles the question we all secretly have about our writers: how much is literature and how much is their lives? This witty insightful book is full of Paley’s quirky charm, tenacious integrity, and exuberant activism." Minnie Bruce Pratt

Review:

"In this engaging study, Arcana analyzes Paley’s work in terms of its autobiographical roots, tracing her evolution…into a writer and social activist who embraced anti-Vietnam War protests, environmental and feminist causes, and eventually gay rights efforts.” Publishers Weekly

Review:

"A well-written, attractively illustrated, handsomely designed, and superbly produced book, Arcana’s welcome study of Grace Paley contributes a candid and canny appreciation of the writer’s work by realizing the centered and seamless quality of her life…." American Literature

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [243]-255) and index.
