The Little Disturbances of Man
The Little Disturbances of Man | Grace Paley
6 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
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.

These two Grace Paley books arrived today and I have to admit the #sobaditsgood covers were the main reason I decided to finally purchase them!
I'm yet to read them so can't really comment on the content but I'm certain there will be a #girlforallseasons in these short stories.

"If there were a little more life in my sister, she would know my heart is a regular college of feelings and there is such information between my corset and me that her whole married life is a kindergarten."

Time to reorganize the bookshelves. Why yes, one of the best parts of being a teacher is summer vacation.
