Enormous Changes at the Last Minute
Enormous Changes at the Last Minute: Stories | Grace Paley
5 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
In Enormous Changes at the Last Minute, originally published in 1974, Grace Paley "makes the novel as a form seem virtually redundant" (Angela Carter, London Review of Books). Her stories here capture "the itch of the city, love between parents and children" and "the cutting edge of combat" (Lis Harris, The New York Times Book Review). In this collection of seventeen stories, she creates a "solid and vital fictional world, cross-referenced and dense with life" (Walter Clemons, Newsweek).

"[Men] did think they were bringing a rare gift, whereas it was just sex, which is common like bread, though essential."

"The doctor said, "You can't bleed forever. Either you run out of blood or you stop. No one bleeds forever."
Continuing my goal of reading/re-reading books I own and letting them out into the wild.

I want to read more Paley. A lot more. Like, every story she ever published type of more. This used book is used in name only - it was in pristine condition for $5. Winning!

batsy Edward Hopper cover! Double winning, if that's possible! 9y

"So foolish is the true love when responded to."

Happy birthday, Grace Paley. You were a radical, wizardly woman.
