Grace Paley's Life Stories: A Literary Biography Cover

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

"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
